RemoveManagerFromDomain API¶

Removes domain manager status from the specified user in the given domain/library. The user remains a member of the domain but loses manager privileges.

Endpoint¶

/srv.asmx/RemoveManagerFromDomain

Methods¶

• GET /srv.asmx/RemoveManagerFromDomain?authenticationTicket=...&DomainName=...&UserName=...
• POST /srv.asmx/RemoveManagerFromDomain (form data)
• SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/RemoveManagerFromDomain

Parameters¶

Response¶

Success Response¶

<response success="true" error="" />

Error Response¶

<response success="false" error="[ErrorCode] Error message" />

Required Permissions¶

Administrators and User Managers. Library managers cannot remove other managers.

Example¶

GET Request¶

GET /srv.asmx/RemoveManagerFromDomain
  ?authenticationTicket=3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301
  &DomainName=Finance
  &UserName=jdoe
HTTP/1.1

POST Request¶

POST /srv.asmx/RemoveManagerFromDomain HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

authenticationTicket=3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301
&DomainName=Finance
&UserName=jdoe

SOAP Request¶

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:RemoveManagerFromDomain>
      <tns:AuthenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:AuthenticationTicket>
      <tns:DomainName>Finance</tns:DomainName>
      <tns:UserName>jdoe</tns:UserName>
    </tns:RemoveManagerFromDomain>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

JavaScript¶

Every call answers XML with HTTP 200, success or not, so success is the thing to branch on and errorCode is the number to report.

async function call(action, params) {
  const response = await fetch(`/srv.asmx/${action}?${new URLSearchParams(params)}`);
  const root = new DOMParser()
    .parseFromString(await response.text(), 'text/xml')
    .documentElement;

  if (root.getAttribute('success') !== 'true') {
    throw new Error(`${root.getAttribute('errorCode')}: ${root.getAttribute('error')}`);
  }
  return root;
}

Takes a user's manager role away from a library.

await call('RemoveManagerFromDomain', {
  authenticationTicket: ticket,
  DomainName: 'Finance',
  UserName: 'jsmith'
});

Removing somebody who is not a manager is a success, so this is safe to call blindly - unlike RemoveUserFromDomainMembership, which answers 4041 for a user it does not know. Removing a manager does not remove their membership.

Notes¶

• This operation only removes the manager role -" the user remains a member of the domain.
• To remove the user entirely from the domain, use RemoveUserFromDomainMembership.
• Use GetManagers to verify the current manager list before and after the operation.
• Use AddManagerToDomain to re-designate a user as a manager.
