Manage IAMs

BIM API reference guide

This page details the bim API, which allows users to programmatically access information about users, their group memberships, and authentications. Most of the actions described here require ADMIN permissions.

Additional fields may be included in some responses you receive; however, these attributes are for internal purposes and are therefore undocumented.

BIM workflow

Because the BIM endpoint encompasses groups, users, and authentications, there are three workflows.

Users workflow

  1. Create a new user.

  2. Manage your users.

  3. Review your users' information.

  4. Delete a user.

Groups workflow

  1. Create a new group.

  2. Manage groups.

  3. Search groups.

  4. Delete a group.

Authenticate with the API workflow

  1. Create an API Key.

  2. Authenticate with an API key.

  3. View tokens and API key information.

  4. Remove an API key.

Create a new user

POST /bim/iam/bim/user
