Sharing All System's Dashboards With A Specific User

[intapiuser]

Sometimes, for example when adding a new admin user, you might want to share all of the dashboards in the system with that user. 

In order to do that, you can use the following Python script: 

import requests
import time
import json

user_name = '[email protected]' #Change to your admin user name. 
password = 'Sisense' #Change to your password.
Sisense_url = "http://localhost:8081" #Change to your Sisense address.
new_admin = "[email protected]" #Change to your new admin user name.
user_rule = "edit" # change to "view" if the user is a viewer. If it is a designer ir admin, leave it as it is.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Get auth_token

url = Sisense_url+"/api/v1/authentication/login"

payload = "username="+user_name.replace('@','%40')+"&password="+password
headers = {
    'cache-control': "no-cache",
    'content-type': "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload, headers=headers)

auth_token = response.json()["access_token"]

auth_token = "Bearer "+auth_token

# Get user



url = Sisense_url + "/api/v1/users"

headers = {
    'accept': "application/json",
    'authorization': auth_token
    }

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)
response = response.json()

user_id = ''

for user in response:
 try:
  if user["userName"] == new_admin:
   user_id = user["_id"]
 
 except KeyError:
  pass
  

# Get all dashboards

url = Sisense_url + "/api/v1/dashboards/admin"

headers = {
    'accept': "application/json",
    'authorization': auth_token
    }

 
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)
response = response.json()

# Share all dashboards with user

new_admin_share = {
 "shareId": user_id,
 "type": "user",
 "rule": "view",
 "subscribe": False
}

#new_admin_share = json.dumps(new_admin_share)

for dashboard in response:

 dashboard_share = dashboard["shares"]
 dashboard_share.append(new_admin_share)
 dashboard_share = {"shares": dashboard_share}
 payload = json.dumps(dashboard_share)
 #print dashboard_share
 
 url = Sisense_url + "/api/v1/dashboards/"+dashboard["oid"]
 
 headers = {
  'accept': "application/json",
  'content-type': "application/json",
  'accept': "application/json",
  'authorization': auth_token
    }
 
 response = requests.request("PATCH", url, data=payload, headers=headers)
 if response.status_code == 200:
  print "dashboard was shared with "+new_admin
 
print "Done!"

In order to use it, please make sure you have the following installed on your system:

• Python 2.7 (64-bit)
• The following Python libraries: requests, time, json

Also, adjust the parameters at the beginning of the script (above the dashed line) to yours:
