Question & Answer


Question

What is the creation_time property in User Management APIs

Answer

In the April 2024 release updates, the JSON response objects for User Management APIs have been extended with a new creation_time property of type string in date-time format. The creation_time property indicates when the user was invited to the instance and is intended to identify inactive users.
The following User Management APIs return the new property:
  • POST /instance/services/bulk/users
  • GET /instance/services/users
  • POST /instance/services/users
  • GET /instance/services/users/{user_id}
  • PUT /instance/services/users/{user_id}
  • GET /instance/services/user_record
Programmatic clients that use a JSON object deserialization policy that ignores new or unknown properties are not impacted. However, if a strict policy is used the client needs to be adapted to incorporate the new property.
In addition, this information is also visible to Account Administrators on the cloud portal’s Access Management page.
