What is the purpose of the 'libadminsettings.USERMANAGER_USER_TYPE' property?

[PG_10758814]

Hello,

I'm using the Configuration API and when requesting the /config/v1/admin/server_users endpoint, I'm getting a list of user accounts where all libadminsettings.USERMANAGER_USER_TYPE properties are set to 0.

I wonder if there is any other available values and what is the purpose of this property.

Thank you.

Hello,

This property is to distinguish between locally-configured users (0) and Active Directory users (1)/groups (2) - for users of ThingWorx Kepware Server who are using the Active Directory integration.

This is documented through the /doc endpoints in the API that provide the "property_definitions" for all objects, including the enumeration values for various properties.

https://github.com/PTCInc/Kepware-Example-Scripts/tree/master/Config%20API/Config%20API%20Endpoint%20and%20Property%20Viewer

property_definition lookups are the go-to way to learn what values mean and parameters on the properties as they are exposed through the configuration API. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks
