I have a set of users that I want to subscribe to the same notifications available via the Portal. However, as I'm automating the creation/management of these users, I also want to automate the subscription to these notifications.
I've reviewed the API documentation, searched for any examples/tutorials, and I'm still not having any luck figuring out how to accomplish this.
Any clues, or examples would be awesome.
To add the permission, execute the following request:
https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_User_Customer/[user_id]/addBulkPortalPermission
Method: POST
Json (payload):
{
"parameters": [
[
{
"keyName": "NTF_SUBSCRIBER_MANAGE"
}
]
]
}
To get the user permissions, execute:
https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_User_Customer/[ User_Customer_ID]/getPermissions

EDIT:
Follow these steps to subscribe notifications to a customer user:
Example: Add “PLANNED_MAINTENANCE” notification subscription.
1. Create a notification subscription record for the user using: SoftLayer_User_Customer::addNotificationSubscriber
URL:
https://[username:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_User_Customer/[user_customer_id]/addNotificationSubscriber
Method: POST
Json (payload):
{
"parameters": [
" PLANNED_MAINTENANCE"
]
}
Reference:
http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_User_Customer/addNotificationSubscriber
2. Create delivery methods for a notification that the user is subscribed to (SoftLayer_User_Customer::createSubscriberDeliveryMethods).
URL:
https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_User_Customer/[user_customer_id]/createSubscriberDeliveryMethods
Method: POST
Json (payload):
{
"parameters": [
"PLANNED_MAINTENANCE",
[
"EMAIL"
]
]
}
To get information about “notificationKeyName” and “deliveryMethodKeyNames”, execute:
https://[username]:[apikey]@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getActiveNotificationSubscribers?objectMask=mask[id, notification, active,deliveryMethods[notificationDeliveryMethod[active,keyName],notificationSubscriber]]
