Non-Blocking API

public void Backendless.UserService.enableUser( userObjectId, AsyncCallback<Void> responder );

where

Argument                Description
userObjectId Unique identifier of the user account to be enabled. String value or number. Refer to the Data Import topic to learn more about objectId value as the number.
responder A callback object which will receive a callback when the method successfully changes the user status. Applies to the non-blocking method only.

Return Value

None.

Example

The example below enables the user associated with the following objectId: "4D584E4D-05A3-4AC4-90C7-B80D1584E7AD".

Blocking API

String userObjectId = "4D584E4D-05A3-4AC4-90C7-B80D1584E7AD";

Backendless.UserService.enableUser( userObjectId );

Non-Blocking API

String userObjectId = "4D584E4D-05A3-4AC4-90C7-B80D1584E7AD";

Backendless.UserService.enableUser( userObjectId, new AsyncCallback<Void>()
{
  @Override
  public void handleResponse( Void unused )
  {
    // result handling logic
  }

  @Override
  public void handleFault( BackendlessFault backendlessFault )
  {
    // error handling logic
  }

Codeless Reference

user_service_codeless_set_user_status_as_enabled

where:

Argument                Description
id objectId/unique identifier of a user account to be enabled.

Important

This Codeless block is only available in CloudCode due to the security reasons. If this operation is exposed to users, then your application can be compromised.

This operation does not return a value.

Consider the following record in the Users data table:

user_service_codeless_example_set_user_status_as_enabled_disabled_common_example

Note that the userStatus column contains the current user status which is DISABLED.

The example below enables the user "alice@yourmail.com" associated with the objectId: "4D584E4D-05A3-4AC4-90C7-B80D1584E7AD".

user_service_codeless_example_set_user_status_as_enabled

After the Codeless logic runs, the user status successfully changes to ENABLED.
