Hello,

There is no API call to retrieve only usernames. Do not hesitate to go to this documentation page identity API.

(preferred) Implement a new Custom REST API extension

Bonita enables you to add a new REST API extension. It would provide in the body of a HTTP response the information needed as JSON: I.E. a list of userNames. Please have a look to this documentation page: REST API extensions

(not preferred) out-of-the-box Solution

The existing API/identity/user REST resource, available with a GET HTTP request, enables you to retrieve a JSON, containing detailed information of the users. If a tomcat is running locally on the 8080 port, the URL below can be used to retrieve up to 10000 users:

http://localhost:8080/bonita/API/identity/user?p=0&c=10000
UID FORM edition example

A UID form’s variable can be used to

  • either sends a HTTP request and stores the JSON response: External API,
  • or stores the result of the execution of javascript lines of code: javascript expression.

This example shows how to store the usernames of many users in a UID Form’s variable named allUserNames.

Click on the Create a new variable button in order to create a variable with name allUsers, type External API, and value ../API/identity/user?p=0&c=10000

![Create new variable button UID][Create new variable button UID]

Create a second variable with name allUserNames, type Javascript expression, value

var usernames = [];
for (var i=0; i<$data.allUsers.length; i++) {
      usernames.push($data.allUsers[i].userName);
}
return usernames;

Create a new variable button

getAuditDetailJSON = $data.auditDetails;
var auditTrail = ;

for(var i= 0;i<getAuditDetailJSON.length;i++){
var userId = getAuditDetailJSON[i].executedBy;
var taskName = getAuditDetailJSON[i].displayName;
var dateTime = getAuditDetailJSON[i].archivedDate;

var user_name = ..API/identity/user/{{userId}}



var x = {user_name,userId,taskName,dateTime};   
auditTrail.push(x);

}

@ramireddy.pingala: The answer had been edited to clarify, I hope. To send HTTP requests, you need to use either javascript function either UID variables.

Hi,
Still I didn’t get any solution for this isssue, I solved this issue by saving the details into the database and retriveing through webService. I solved this problem like this.
Thank you
