Question about API-Key's

[dan-m-joh]

Hello Sven,

How can I create an API-key for an arbitrary user?
I know I can create/manage my keys under "Show user profile / API-keys", but how can I create/manage keys for "other" users for which I have no login and for which there exists no "login information" (there exists only a "contact" with email which is used for notifications and not for login).
As a workaround I could (I think) add a "local" password to the user, add an API-Key and then delete the "local" password again.

You can always use the rest api from the command line to create keys:

OMD[demo@centos9-64]:~$ thruk -A someuser r -m POST /thruk/api_keys
{
   "file" : "/omd/sites/demo/var/thruk/api_keys/e62a70f83ead4fd4ba580e2894ed678107ce5421c259fc4596e4304fdc87f51c.SHA-256",
   "hashed_key" : "e62a70f83ead4fd4ba580e2894ed678107ce5421c259fc4596e4304fdc87f51c",
   "message" : "successfully created api key",
   "private_key" : "21f5c56ca7121230323a19720556f90c65187926d155a348f5fb6ec398f21f92_1"
}

OMD[demo@centos9-64]:~$ thruk apikey info /omd/sites/demo/var/thruk/api_keys/e62a70f83ead4fd4ba580e2894ed678107ce5421c259fc4596e4304fdc87f51c.SHA-256
