Can not change permissions while using grafana rest api

[SebastianUA]

Hello here,

Tried to use: http://docs.grafana.org/http_api/admin/ in my python script to change role to admin of grafana.

if be detailed:

PUT /api/admin/users/2/permissions HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

{"isGrafanaAdmin": true} 

Some simple code of my script:

def update_grafana_users(gurl, g_user, g_password, email):
    g_protocol = gurl.split(':')[0]
    g_url = gurl.split('//')[1]

    data_put = {"isGrafanaAdmin": True}

    account_id = search_grafana_user(gurl, g_user, g_password, email)
    if account_id != -1:
        get_data_req = requests.put(
            g_protocol + '://' + g_user + ':' + g_password + '@' + g_url + '/api/admin/users/%s/permissions' % account_id,
            data=data_put)
        pars_json = json.loads(get_data_req.text)
        print(pars_json)

        get_data_req = requests.get(
            g_protocol + '://' + g_user + ':' + g_password + '@' + g_url + '/api/users?perpage=10&page=1')
        pars_json = json.loads(get_data_req.text)
        for user in pars_json:
            if user['email'] == email:
                print(user)
    else:
        print('Unfortunately, I cant find [%s] email in grafana to update role!' % email)
        print('Please, use current EMAIL!')
        exit(0)

    return update_grafana_users

I have got the following text:

$ python3 grafana.py --update --email="test2" --new-password=newPW
{'message': 'User permissions updated'}
{'id': 19, 'name': 'test2', 'login': 'test2', 'email': 'test2', 'isAdmin': False, 'lastSeenAt': '0001-01-01T00:00:00Z', 'lastSeenAtAge': '?'}

If you can see from my output, the role didn't change. So, this key-value is not working at all to me. I tried to change password of the user - it worked properly.

Please help me with my cause issue.
Thanks

The isGrafanaAdmin property and the isAdmin property are not the same thing. This is not very well explained in the docs for the API.

Grafana Admin is a super admin: http://docs.grafana.org/administration/permissions/#grafana-admin

The isAdmin property is whether the user is an org admin or not: http://docs.grafana.org/administration/permissions/#admin-role

To make the user an org admin, use this endpoint to update the user's role in the specified organization.

I know about it. However it's not working with python usage!
I tried to use that think (I would like to add perms as SUPER ADMIN of Grafana) but without any good results.
