Table 3-1 Using HTTP Methods with the Users Resource Endpoint

HTTP Method	Path	Description
GET	/Users/{id}	Given the ID of the user, returns the Oracle Identity Manager user, if it exists.
GET	/Users?filter={filterName} eq "<username | externalId>"&attributes={comma separated attributes}	Searching for the user requires a filter. Supported filters are userName and externalId. The accepted operator is eq. Attributes is optional.
POST	/Users	Creates a user in Oracle Identity Manager. Existing Oracle Life Sciences IAMS validations apply while creating the user.
PUT	/Users/{id}	Replaces all the attributes of the user. If an attribute is not specified, the value is removed from the user in Oracle Identity Manager.
PATCH	/Users/{id}	Updates only the specified attributes.
DELETE*	/Users/{id}	To maintain audit history, you cannot delete a user in the Oracle Life Sciences IAMS application. Instead, the account is disabled and all the current roles and groups are revoked for this user account.

*After a user is deleted, when a new user request is received that matches the deleted (disabled) username in Oracle Identity Manager, the application returns a 303 Redirect response with the location of the disabled user. You can either enable the user at this location or pick a new username and resubmit the request.

If the username in the new user request matches an active user, the application returns a 412 Precondition Failed with username already exists error message.
