APIs for User Management

The RESTful APIs designed for User Management enable admins to perform a wide range of user-related actions, such as inviting new users, deleting existing ones, and updating user details. These APIs provide admins with the ability to efficiently manage user accounts and permissions. The table below introduces eight key APIs that empower admins with greater control over user management.

InfraTokens

InfraTokens are special UUID tokens that provide a secure way for admins to interface with Self-Hosted APIs. They are exclusively accessible to admins, ensuring that only authorized personnel can manage sensitive operations. Unlike Personal Access Tokens, which are tied to individual users, InfraTokens are scoped at the instance level, granting access to all admins within the instance.

Steps to Generate an InfraToken

Follow these steps to create a new InfraToken:

  1. After logging into your Self-Hosted instance using your admin credentials, you can access the “Tokens” under the “Settings” section from your admin dashboard.
  2. Click on “Generate New InfraToken.”
  3. Enter a title for the token and select an expiration date. Available options include 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, or no expiry.
  4. After providing the necessary details, confirm the creation. The new InfraToken will be displayed once, make sure to copy it securely to your clipboard for immediate use.
  5. If you decide that you no longer need the token, you can delete it by navigating back to “Tokens” section.
The details of the admin who created the InfraToken are stored for audit purposes. All admins can view and manage these tokens.

How to Use InfraTokens

InfraTokens are to be used as Bearer tokens. When making requests to the User Management APIs, include the InfraToken in the Authorization header as follows:

Bearer <Your_InfraToken>

Manage Workspaces

In the Manage Workspace section, you can efficiently handle workspace-related operations, ensuring that collaborations and projects run smoothly.

  • Workspace Creation: Establish new workspace tailored to specific projects or departments.
  • Workspace Editing: Modify workspace details and configurations as needed.
  • Workspace Deletion: Disband workspaces that are no longer relevant.
  • User Memberships: View and manage the users associated with each workspace.

Server Settings

In the Server Settings section, you have the ability to both view and edit the environment variables that were configured during the setup of your self-hosted instance.

Configurations

  1. Configure Authentication Providers: Customize authentication providers, including Google, Microsoft, GitHub, and email, directly from the settings page.

  2. Configure SMTP Settings: Set up your SMTP settings for seamless email integration.

  3. Reset Configurations: If needed, reset your configurations back to their original state.

After making any configuration updates, be sure to save the changes. The server will automatically restart to apply the modifications.

Hard Reset Configurations

If you need to perform a hard reset of the server configurations, execute the following command in your terminal to reset all your environment variables:

docker exec -it <db_container_id> psql -d hoppscotch -c "TRUNCATE \"InfraConfig\";"

You can replace <db_container_id> with the actual ID of your Docker container.
