Listing device users

This page explains how to list device users.

Listing specific device users

The following examples show you how to list specific devices users in your organization.

REST

To list specific device users, call devices.deviceUsers.list() with the name of the customer (organization).

Python HTTP

The following example shows how to list specific device users using the Python HTTP library:

"""Sample script to demonstrate the use of the List method in the Devices API."""
import json
import pprint

from six.moves import urllib

import google.auth.transport.requests
from google.oauth2 import service_account

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-identity.devices']
BASE_URL = 'https://cloudidentity.googleapis.com/v1/'

# Change this to the location of the service account key
SA_FILE = ''

# Enter the administrator to call as here.
ADMIN_EMAIL = ''

if not SA_FILE:
  print('Please specify the location of the service account key file')
if not ADMIN_EMAIL:
  print('Please specify the email of the administrator to call as')

if not SA_FILE or not ADMIN_EMAIL:
  exit(-1)

def create_delegated_credentials(user_email):
  credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
      SA_FILE,
      scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-identity.devices'])

  delegated_credentials = credentials.with_subject(user_email)

  return delegated_credentials

######################################################################
# AUTHENTICATE the service account and retrieve an oauth2 access token

request = google.auth.transport.requests.Request()
dc = create_delegated_credentials(ADMIN_EMAIL)
dc.refresh(request)
print('Access token: ' + dc.token + '\n')

###############################
# LIST deviceUsers with filter.

# Change this filter according to the options here:
# https://support.google.com/a/answer/7549103
FILTER = urllib.parse.quote_plus('status:approved os:IOS')
list_url = BASE_URL + 'devices/-/deviceUsers?filter=' + FILTER
auth_header = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + dc.token}
content = urllib.request.urlopen(
    urllib.request.Request(list_url, headers=auth_header)).read()
response = json.loads(content)
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)

if 'deviceUsers' in response:
  print('Listed: ' + str(len(response['deviceUsers'])) + ' deviceUsers\n')

  for element in response['deviceUsers']:
    pp.pprint(element)
  print('Next page token: ' + response['nextPageToken'])
else:
  print('Empty response')

Notice that FILTER is set to filter device users to those users whose status is "approved" (status:approved) and operating system is "IOS" (os:IOS).

Getting a specific device user

The following examples show you how to retrieve a specific device user.

REST

To get a specific device user, call devices.deviceUsers.get() with the name of the device and the customer (organization).

Python HTTP

The following example shows how to retrieve a specific customer using the Python HTTP library:

"""Sample script to demonstrate the use of the get method in the Devices API."""

# Change this to the location of the service account key
SA_FILE = ''

# Enter the administrator to call as here.
ADMIN_EMAIL = ''

# Enter the Resource Name. You can get this from the value of the name
# field in the results of a List method call
RESOURCE_NAME = ''

if not SA_FILE:
  print('Please specify the location of the service account key file')
if not ADMIN_EMAIL:
  print('Please specify the email of the administrator to call as')
if not RESOURCE_NAME:
  print('Please specify the Resource Name to be retrieved')

if not SA_FILE or not ADMIN_EMAIL or not RESOURCE_NAME:
  exit(-1)

def create_delegated_credentials(user_email):
  credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
      SA_FILE,
      scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-identity.devices'])

  delegated_credentials = credentials.with_subject(user_email)

  return delegated_credentials
