Creating User and SAML User Accounts with the Identity API

These use case scenarios provide the Identity REST API commands and payloads for creating a user account and a SAML user account.

Use this command to create a user account:

http --auth-type=veracode_hmac POST "https://api.veracode.com/api/authn/v2/users" < input.json

The API passes the JSON file that you populate with the necessary values as shown in this example payload:

{
   "email_address":"[email protected]",
   "first_name":"Example",
   "last_name":"User",
   "ip_restricted":false,
   "active":true,
   "roles":[
      {
         "role_name":"extseclead"
      },
      {
         "role_name":"extsubmitanyscan"
      }
   ],
   "title":"Sample",
   "user_name":"[email protected]",
   "userType":"VOSP",
   "teams":[
      {
         "team_id":"teamId"
      }
   ]
}

Use this command to create a SAML user account:

http --auth-type=veracode_hmac POST "https://api.veracode.com/api/authn/v2/users" < input.json

The API passes the JSON file that you populate with the necessary values as shown in this example payload:

{
   "email_address":"[email protected]",
   "first_name":"Example",
   "last_name":"User",
   "ip_restricted":false,
   "active":true,
   "roles":[
      {
         "role_name":"extseclead"
      },
      {
         "role_name":"extsubmitanyscan"
      }
   ],
   "title":"Sample",
   "saml_user":true,
   "saml_subject":"[email protected]",
   "user_type":"VOSP"
 }

For some of the possible user account, API service account, and SAML user roles, you must include one or more of these scan types that the user can submit:

Any scan type (extsubmitanyscan)
Static (extsubmitstaticscan)
Dynamic (extsubmitdynamicscan)
Manual (extsubmitmanualscan)

When Veracode creates the user account and configures the authentication, it can take up to one minute.
