Remove User API

Cagri Tanyar

Hello,

I am attempting to remove a user and transfer their files to another user.

Although the API documentation is clear, I am not getting the desired results.

User gets deleted, but the sheets never get transferred:

const options = {

        id: personToDelete.id,

        transferSheets: true,

        transferTo: userToTransferTo.id,

    }

    const deleteResult = await smartsheet.users.removeUser(options); 

    console.log(deleteResult);

I get { message: 'SUCCESS', resultCode: 0 } from this operation, but the files do not get transferred.

This is what I am following:

https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/?javascript#remove-user

The person I am trying to transfer the sheets to is a Licensed user, Resource Viewer, Group Admin, and System Admin, whose account status Active.

I appreciate any guidance.

Thanks,

Tanyar

Hi @Cagri Tanyar

It looks like you need to add an additional level into the options object called queryParameters

So, instead of options.transferSheets it should be: 

options.queryParameters.transferSheets 

The same adjustment would need to be made for transferTo. Does that make sense? You can see an example of adding queryParameters on this page, here:

https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/#query-strings

Let me know if this works for you!

Cheers,

Genevieve
