Get user available instance port

[kaleming]

Hello Marius,

I would like to ask you, if there is some straight-forward way to discover which instance's ports a user has access ?

For example:

I have 3 instances (port 13000 (gateway), 13001, 13002) on the same address='localhost', but User_A only has permission to see cubes from port 13001 only.

Is there some way, using admin, to know which port number a user are able to access ?

Something like:

with TM1Service(address='localhost', port=13000, user='admin', password='apple', ssl=True) as tm1: 
    tm1.security.get_user_available_port(user_name='User_A')

'User_A can access cubes from port (13000, 13001) only'

Just to clarify you want to check if a user has access to a certain TM1 Server?

If a user has no access are they still a named client on the server?

Could you explain a little more as to why determining access to a given instance is important?

Thanks,

Ryan Clapp

Hi @rclapp, thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I didn't make myself very clear.

I just want to check in which TM1 server a certain user exists. I noticed there is a commit for a user_exists function.

Maybe using this function (looping over all instances as admin), and check which TM1 Server ports this user exists, can be a way to solve this.

Yes that would work. You could get all the instances on a given host, and for each of those login and check if a user exists.

If you use CAM security that can make it a little more difficult as users can be created at login time. So just because you exist, you might not have access.
