At the AEM Foundation level, the Personal Data that is stored
As mentioned, Adobe provides APIs for accessing user data, in order to facilitate automation. There are several types of APIs which you can use:
curl -u user:password http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/security/search/profile.userproperties.json\?authId\=cavery
curl -g -u user:password 'http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/security/search/authorizables.json?query={"condition":[{"named":"cavery"}]}'
{"authorizables":[{"type":"user","authorizableId_xss":"cavery","authorizableId":"cavery","name_xss":"Carlene Avery","name":"Carlene Avery","home":"/home/users/we-retail/DSCP-athB1NYLBXvdTuN"}],"total":1}
Retrieving user data
Using the node path from the home property of the JSON payload returned from the above command:
curl -u user:password 'http://localhost:4502/home/users/we-retail/DSCP-athB1NYLBXvdTuN/profile.-1.json'
curl -u user:password 'http://localhost:4502/home/users/we-retail/DSCP-athB1NYLBXvdTuN/profiles.-1.json'
The following procedures use the curl command line tool to illustrate how to disable the user with the cavery userId and delete her profiles available at the default location.
- Discovering the user home
curl -g -u user:password 'http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/security/search/authorizables.json?query={"condition":[{"named":"cavery"}]}'
{"authorizables":[{"type":"user","authorizableId_xss":"cavery","authorizableId":"cavery","name_xss":"Carlene Avery","name":"Carlene Avery","home":"/home/users/we-retail/DSCP-athB1NYLBXvdTuN"}],"total":1}
- Disabling the user
Using the node path from the home property of the JSON payload returned from the above command:
curl -X POST -u user:password -FdisableUser="describe the reasons for disabling this user (GDPR in this case)" 'http://localhost:4502/home/users/we-retail/DSCP-athB1NYLBXvdTuN.rw.userprops.html'
- Deleting user profile(s)
Using the node path from the home property of the JSON payload returned from the account discovery command and the known out of the box profile node locations:
curl -X POST -u user:password -H "Accept: application/json,**/**;q=0.9" -d ':operation=delete' 'http://localhost:4502/home/users/we-retail/DSCP-athB1NYLBXvdTuN/profile'
curl -X POST -u user:password -H "Accept: application/json,**/**;q=0.9" -d ':operation=delete' 'http://localhost:4502/home/users/we-retail/DSCP-athB1NYLBXvdTuN/profile'
