Hello,

I was told that I can use HTTPCaller to automate some ArcGIS Online Admin workflows, such as creating/deleting user accounts.

I found this ArcGIS REST APIs authentication document to guide me, but I can’t figure out how exactly. 

https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/users-groups-and-items/authentication/

 

 

Any help is appreciated!

You don’t need to do oauth2 authentication via httpcallers (you can, but that is the whole point of FME Web Connections, which do that whole ouath2 process for you). Follow these instructions: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407474895629-How-to-Create-an-ArcGIS-Online-Web-Connection-OAuth-2-0

 

That will get you authentication sorted.

 

Deleting a user is very easy (@Value(URL)/sharing/rest/community/users/$(username)/delete?f=json). Creating a user is not as simple.

 

I am also going to say that some of us have already built a lot of transformers in the Esri space. There are quite a few that are free on the hub (I have a few up there), but I have heaps that our business doesn’t want to provide freely, but certainly would be cheaper than building yourself (considering all the error checking, etc)….like deleting a user in ArcGIS Online or Enterprise

 

And about 40 others..like:
