Automatically change gallery mongoDB value when user is no longer with company

csh8428 — Fri, 04 Feb 2022 15:07:23 GMT

Our Gallery isn't connected directly to our HR system. So, when an employee is terminated their access is not revoked from the gallery. I can connect to our HR system to check for terminated employees and I know how to read from the MongoDB to get the user's info(Alteryx Gallery Database and users collection).

What I don't know how to do is WRITE to the mongoDB to revoke the users access. I'm guessing I would want to change the following fields to "False"

Active, CanSchedule, CanSetPriority, CanSetWorkerTag,CanCreateCollections and set AccountLocked to True? Is that correct? If so, how can we write to the MongoDB?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi @csh8428.

I'm not 100% sure where you can change it. Probably one of these will work, need to test or to be more precise you can take a look at the documentation about the mongodb structure.

If I'm not wrong I think that the correct option to change is on user collection on AlteryxGallery schema change the option ACTIVE

Active: (Boolean) The user's email address is active.

(BUT BE CAREFUL - IY YOU ARE GOING TO EDIT MONGODB, DO IT UNDER THE SUPERVISION BY ALTERYX SUPPORT)

(And always backup mongo before any changes)

And, generally, when we need to do some change directly on mongodb we are using the ROBO3T for it.

Best regards.
