RemoveUsergroupFromDocumentSubscribers API

Removes a specified user group from the subscription list of a document. After removal, members of that group will no longer receive email notifications via the group subscription for any events on that document. Use this API to clean up group subscriptions when a group no longer needs to track a document.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/RemoveUsergroupFromDocumentSubscribers

Methods

  • GET /srv.asmx/RemoveUsergroupFromDocumentSubscribers?authenticationTicket=...&documentPath=...&groupName=...

  • POST /srv.asmx/RemoveUsergroupFromDocumentSubscribers (form data)

  • SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/RemoveUsergroupFromDocumentSubscribers

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
authenticationTicket string Yes Authentication ticket obtained from AuthenticateUser.
documentPath string Yes Full infoRouter path to the document (e.g. /Finance/Reports/Q1-Report.pdf). Supports short document ID paths (~D{id} or ~D{id}.ext).
groupName string Yes Name of the user group. A group belonging to the library the item is in is looked for first, then the global groups, so either kind can be named.

Response

Success Response

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

Error Response

<response success="false" error="User group not found." />

The calling user must be authenticated. To remove a user group from the subscription list, the calling user must have write access or manage access to the document.

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;
}

Unsubscribes a user group from a document.

await call('RemoveUsergroupFromDocumentSubscribers', {
  authenticationTicket: ticket,
  DocumentPath: '/Public/Reports/q3.pdf',
  groupName: 'Auditors',
});

Notes

  • Not Subscribed: If the specified group is not currently subscribed to the document, the API returns success="true" -" it does not treat this as an error.

  • Group Must Exist: The groupName must match an existing infoRouter user group. If the group is not found, an error is returned.

  • Individual User Subscriptions Unaffected: This API only removes the group-level subscription. Individual users who happen to be members of this group and have their own personal subscriptions will continue to receive notifications. Use RemoveUserFromDocumentSubscribers to remove individual user subscriptions.

  • Short Path Support: The documentPath parameter supports short document ID notation: ~D123 or ~D123.pdf.

  • Folder Group Subscriptions: This API operates on document subscriptions only. To remove a group from a folder subscription, use RemoveUsergroupFromFolderSubscribers.



Error Codes

The errorCode values this operation returns, checked against a running server:

errorCode When
4010 the ticket is expired or unknown, or there is no ticket at all
4041 no document at that path, including one the caller may not see
4041 no user group by that name, in the document's library or among the global groups
HTTP 400 a required string parameter was empty; refused by model binding, so there is no error document
