How to list users with a specific role with Python SDK?

asimagu — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 20:40:11 GMT

I am trying to pull a list a users using Python SDK, but only the ones with a specific role.

I read this documentation http://dev.splunk.com/view/python-sdk/SP-CAAAEJ6#listusers

However, I can only get all the users of my system. I was wondering if I could use the component "roles"

I would only like to list users that have roles=teamA

thanks

Don't see an option in the class definition to filter by role while requesting it. Could you do a filter based on a role after you retrieve all users?? It does return the role (user.role_entities).

i have this.

for user in service.users: print "%s (%s)" % (user.realname, user.roles)

and this is the oupput:

Administrator (['admin'])
Amparo Pozi (['power', 'splunk-system-role', 'user'])
Amparo Ponno (['admin', 'splunk-system-role', 'user'])
Ampario Alaca (['admin', 'power', 'user'])

How can I filter only the admin users??

i think i just found my own answer 😉

users = service.users
filtered_users = [x for x in users if 'admin' in x.roles ]
for user in filtered_users: print "%s (%s)" % (user.realname, user.roles)
