Overview

- get_user_schema
| Name | Datatype | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | URI of user schema |
name | string | Name of the schema |
$schema | string | JSON schema version identifier |
_links | object | Specifies link relations (see Web Linking) available using the JSON Hypertext Application Language specification. This object is used for dynamic discovery of related resources and lifecycle operations. |
created | string | Timestamp when the schema was created |
definitions | object | User profile subschemas The profile object for a user is defined by a composite schema of base and custom properties using a JSON path to reference subschemas. The #base properties are defined and versioned by Okta, while #custom properties are extensible. Custom property names for the profile object must be unique and can't conflict with a property name defined in the #base subschema. |
lastUpdated | string | Timestamp when the schema was last updated |
properties | object | User Object Properties |
title | string | User-defined display name for the schema |

Methods
The following methods are available for this resource:
| Name | Accessible by | Required Params | Optional Params | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
get_user_schema | select | subdomain | Retrieves the schema for a user type | |
update_user_profile | update | subdomain | Updates a user schema. Use this request to update, add, or remove one or more profile properties in a user schema. If you specify default for the schemaId, updates will apply to the default user type.Unlike custom user profile properties, limited changes are allowed to base user profile properties (permissions, nullability of the firstName and lastName properties, or pattern for login).You can't remove a property from the default schema if it's being referenced as a matchAttribute in SAML2 IdPs.Currently, all validation of SAML assertions are only performed against the default user type. > Note: You must set properties explicitly to null to remove them from the schema; otherwise, POST is interpreted as a partial update. |
