Vault API Question

I'm retrieving a list of users with the GetUserList function, but every user in the list is shown as having an isActive value of false and a Status of 0. Is there a reason for this? I want to see if the users are currently Active or Inactive, but this doesn't seem to be working for me.

The active status is a three value state:

A) -1 - the user is inactive
B) 0 - the user is active and not logged in.
C) 1 - the user is active and logged in.

That's good to know, but the trouble is that I get a status of 0 for every user, regardless of their actual status.

Ahh. I see.

There are two calls for GetUserList().

Are you calling the one from the AdminService Web Service? If not, then that is the one you will want to call, as it will have the additional info.

Actually, I got it working using Connection.ListUsers. The Connection.GetUserList is what I was using before, and that returned a list, but the isActive was always false and the Status was always 0.

The one thing I noticed about the Connection.ListUsers is that it only works if you're logged in as an Admin. If you log in as a Client, the ListUsers errors out with an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.

So, I have it working now, it just took a little experimenting. But hey, that's what makes it fun.
