Folks-

I need to generate a REST query that lists all computers and their attributes that are associated with a given user. I've looked through documentation, and Bryson Tyrrell's postings, but have had no success.

Thanks,

RL

    The following will produce the same results as searching for the user in the GUI. Replace $UserID with their ID/Username.

    https://jss.yourorg.com:8443/JSSResource/computers/match/$UserID

    Perform a GET on this (You can even type in the address bar of your browser to test)

    Edit: Here's an example of how you would do this with cURL. Just fill in the JSSAPI Username and Password. This will dump the XML output to your desktop.

    curl -v -u "$JSSAPIUser:$JSSAPIPass" https://jss.yourorg.com:8443/JSSResource/computers/match/$UserID -X GET -o ~/Desktop/UserInfo.xml

    Notes:
    -This assumes you have the user assigned on the user and location tab. -This will only return a sub-set of computer information, if you need additional information you will have to perform a query on each computer object and parse the desired data.
