How can I retrieve the entire list of users from kinvey?
I tried to use:
User[] users = myClient.user().retrieveBlocking(new Query()).execute();
but my application crashed.
The user().retrieve will get just the logged-in user.
You cannot simply get a list of all users with the SDK. This would be a security risk. But, you might want to be able to look at the following:
a. User Discovery http://devcenter.kinvey.com/android/guides/users#lookup
b. Business Logic, where you can get a list of all users as a Custom Endpoint, then return that list to the caller. In that Endpoint, you can use "collectionAccess" to the "user" collection to get to that data.

I am creating a flask app to be used internally in my company. I would like to restrict what a user can do it based on its login ID. I read a lot about using LDAP3 but I don't think I can do what want which send the login ID to the server. There I would have a table which will register which part of the system has the permition to edit. If it try to change somenthing not permited the app will retrieve a warning message.
I won't to do that to avoid having to create a separate login functionality just for this app. I read that I should use AD authentication but I am not very familiarized with that and I would also like to avoid having to ask our IT department to create user groups there for each part of my system.
I know that I can do that using ASP .NET (at least I did once).
Any guidance will be apreciated.
I think you are looking for Role-based Authorization.
In order to use this functionality you will need to implement roles on your model file per the Data-models documentation.
This will allow you to assign users a role when they are created, and you can use a decorator on your routes to 'require' the user to have the role you want them to have before they access the endpoint.
I have a list of domains of all my gapps customers.I want to get only users who have super admin privilege for all those domains.I can fetch all users for the domain and iterate over them and filter out only supers admins. But it will be a lot of api calls.
There has to be another way....
Thanks.
Both information list of all domains and list of users under a domain are not possible is one API Call. You have to make a list of domains call then make each call for a domain and get the list of users as you have mentioned been doing. However, you can avoid getting all users and get only admin users instead. There is a parameter in API call as query where you can mention isAdmin=true to get only super Admins.
But Google provides batch request to combine multiple API calls in one request which you can readily use to fulfill your purpose.
I need to synchronize the users of a domain with a third party database.
Using the method users.list I can query for the complete list of users.
With the comlete list I can identify created users and deleted users. I don't find any way identify updated users.
Is there a way to identify updated users?
Use Users.watch. It lets you know of any changes made to users. When changes are made you can update your database.
I am doing an app chat in android by asmack with XMPP and want to user client install the application he will be able to retrieve
The list of all the users which contain on the database.
This will allow to the client be able to select user from the List
and joined him to list friend one on one.
How can I do that?
If it not possible, how can achieve that?
Get the WebManager Instance.
WebManager webMan = ...;
UserManager userMan = webMan.getUserManager();
userMan.getUsers(); // Returns the user collection.
UserManager API
From the collection list you can get all the users you wany.
Is there any way to add Venue/Tip to Foursquare without creating appID in developer.foursquare.com?
I need to confirm whether is there any provision for sharing content to foursquare by using a public url like Facebook share.php.
Basically you will need an app-id or authed user, due to the fact that every tip is from a user or linked to.
But they make exceptions when it comes to adding venues.
At least you will need an app-id for that.
Adding Venues Without Authenticating Users First
This endpoint generally requires you to authenticate Foursquare users
before you can add venues on their behalf. In some cases, we’ll make
exceptions and allow applications to create new venues without
authenticating any users. If you’re interested in this feature, please
contact api#foursquare.com.
