#ext_attr_xml ⇒ REXML::Element Originally defined in module Extendable

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

TODO: make this (and all XML amending) method take the in-progress XML doc and add (or not) the EA xml to it. See how Sitable#add_site_to_xml works, as called from Computer.rest_xml

Returns:

  • (REXML::Element) —

    An <extension_attribute> element to be included in the rest_xml of objects that mix-in this module.

#ext_attrs ⇒ Object Originally defined in module Extendable

An easier-to-use hash of EA name to EA value. This isn’t created until its needed, to speed up instantiation.

#name=(newname) ⇒ void Originally defined in module Updatable

This method returns an undefined value.

Change the name of this item Remember to #update to push changes to the server.

Parameters:

  • newname (String) —

    the new name

Raises:

#parse_ext_attrs ⇒ void Originally defined in module Extendable

This method returns an undefined value.

Populate @extension_attributes (the Array of Hashes that comes from the API) and @ext_attr_names, which is a Hash mapping the EA names to their values. This is called during initialization for all objects that mix in this module

#remove_site(site) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Remove this user from a site

Parameters:

  • site (String) —

    the name of the site

  @need_to_update = true
end

#set_ext_attr(ea_name, value, validate_popup_choice: true, refresh: false) ⇒ void Originally defined in module Extendable

This method returns an undefined value.

Set the value of an extension attribute

The new value is validated based on the data type of the Ext. Attrib:

  • If the ext. attrib. is defined with a data type of Integer/Number, the value must be an Integer.

  • If defined with a data type of Date, the value will be parsed as a timestamp, and parsing may raise an exception. Dates can’t be blank.

  • If defined wth data type of String, ‘to_s` will be called on the value.

By default, the full EA definition object is fetched to see if the EA’s input type is ‘popup menu’, and if so, the new value must be one of the defined popup choices, or blank.

The EA definitions used for popup validation are cached, so we don’t have to reach out to the server every time. If you expect the definition to have changed since it was cached, provide a truthy value to the refresh: parameter

To bypass popup validation complepletely, provide a falsey value to the validate_popup_choice: parameter. WARNING: beware that your value is the correct type and format, or you might get errors when saving back to the API.

Note that while the Jamf Pro Web interface does not allow editing the values of Extension Attributes populated by Scripts or LDAP, the API does allow it. Bear in mind however that those values will be reset again at the next recon.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the extension attribute to set

  • value (String, Time, Integer) —

    the new value for the extension attribute for this user

  • validate_popup_choice (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    validate the new value against the E.A. definition. Defaults to true.

  • refresh (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Re-read the ext. attrib definition from the API, for popup validation.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

#unsaved_eas? ⇒ Boolean Originally defined in module Extendable

are there any changes in the EAs needing to be saved?

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#update ⇒ Boolean Originally defined in module Updatable

Save changes to the JSS

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    success

Raises:

#user_groups(refresh = false) ⇒ Array<Hash>

Workaround for the recurring Jamf Classic API Bug where JSON is missing data that should come in an array of hashes, but only comes as a hash with a single hash inside, with data for only the last item in the XML array.

When needed, we fetch and parse the XML, which has the desired data. Use any truthy parameter to re-fetch the XML data, otherwise the data last fetched is used.

In this case, the user group data is fetched as XML and returned as an Array of Hashes, one per group the user is a member of. Each hash containing three Symbol keys:

id: Integer, the group id
name: String, the group name
is_smart: Boolean, is it a smart group or a static group?

Parameters:

  • refresh (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Re-fetch the group data from the API

Returns:

  • (Array<Hash>) —

    The groups the user is a member of.

#validate_ea_value(ea_name, value, validate_popup_choice, refresh) ⇒ Object Originally defined in module Extendable

is the value being passed to set_ext_attr valid? Converts values as needed (e.g. strings to integers or Times)

If the EA is defined to hold a string, any value is accepted and converted with #to_s

Note: All EAs can be blank

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the extension attribute to set

  • value (String, Time, Integer) —

    the new value for the extension attribute for this user

  • validate_popup_choice (Boolean) —

    validate the new value against the E.A. definition. Defaults to true.

  • refresh (Boolean) —

    Re-read the ext. attrib definition from the API, for popup validation.

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    the possibly modified valid value

#validate_integer_ea_value(ea_name, value) ⇒ Object Originally defined in module Extendable

raise error if the value isn’t an integer

#validate_popup_value(ea_name, value, refresh) ⇒ Object Originally defined in module Extendable

Raise an error if the named EA has a popup menu, but the provided value isn’t one of the menu items

Raises:
