Setting Attribute Values?

[basement199]

Hi,

I need to create some users and I need to populate profile attributes other than the standard (firstname,lastname,email,login). Is it possible to do this withe API?

For example I need to populate the employeeNumber attribute.

thanks,
Freeman

Hello Freeman,

I have managed this in the past using the following code:

private User createUserFromEmployee(Employee employee) {
   User user = new User();
   UserProfile userProfile = new UserProfile();
   userProfile.setEmail(employee.getEmailAddress());
   userProfile.setFirstName(employee.getFirstName());
   userProfile.setLastName(employee.getLastName());
   userProfile.setLogin(employee.getEmailAddress());
   Map<String,Object> unmapped = userProfile.getUnmapped();
   unmapped.put("employeeNumber", employee.getEmployeeNumber());
   user.setProfile(userProfile);
   return user;
}

Hope this helps,

Joe
