Enable User

Description

This operation changes the user status to ENABLED.

This functionality can be used only in CloudCode (Java, JS or Codeless), the reason for this restriction is that a malicious use of this API can easily compromise application's security. As a result, this API must be used from a controlled environment.

Method

Backendless.UserService.enableUser(userId): Promise<void>;

where

Argument	Description
userId	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.

Return Value

None.

Example

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

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

const onSuccessEnableUser = () => console.log('User enabled successfully')
const onError = error => console.error('Error: ', error)

// enable user account
Backendless.UserService.enableUser(userObjectId)
  .then(onSuccessEnableUser)
  .catch(onError)

Codeless Reference

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:

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".

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