Sample Method

createUser("acme", "acme_authcode", "User Pref Temp 1", "<user information>")

Additional Information

If the user preference template is provided then the user preference will be set based on the user preference template on the newly created company user.

'_user' will be the base tag which can be repeated with the data in order to create multiple company users.

The Web Services call for user administration includes a XML tag to support the Proxy login setup. The Data Element (DE) for the XML tag is: "uuu_user_proxy_config."

This is not a required field, so the default value remains unchecked.

Users can be created using the CreateOject WS method, and the XML tag is: "allowproxy."

To map the values for checkbox:

If uuu_user_proxy_config or allowproxy is set to Yes, then the Check box “Do not allow Proxies” in Proxy tab should be unchecked.
If uuu_user_proxy_config or allowproxy is set to No, then the Check box “Do not allow Proxies” in Proxy tab should be checked.
