user_id=username
&password=password
&statevar=get_roles
[&access_token=token-value]

NOTES

The delimiter ‘:’ in the example is the system delimiter stored in the application default named DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER.

The asterisk (*) indicates the current role of the user.

Sample return from the get_roles function:

ENGINEERING:Engineering
 
*QA:Quality Assurance
 
MNGMT:Management
 
ADMIN:Administrator
 
 

The optional access_token parameter allows you to use a valid OAuth2 token obtained with the get_token command.  If you provide the access_token parameter, then the user_id and password parameters should not be provided.  This prevents the password being sent in clear text over your network connection.
