People
As of January 2024, the Webex APIs have been fully upgraded to support the industry-standard SCIM 2.0 protocol, which is used for user and group management, provisioning, and maintenance. Developers are advised to use this API instead of the people API, due to its higher performance and readily available connectors. Users created via SCIM should be licensed using the /licenses API, even in large quantities, using the new PATCH method.
People are registered users of Webex. Searching and viewing People requires an auth token with a scope of spark:people_read
. Viewing the list of all People in your organization requires an administrator auth token with spark-admin:people_read
scope. Adding, updating, and removing People requires an administrator auth token with the spark-admin:people_write
and spark-admin:people_read
scope.
A person's call settings are for Webex Calling
and necessitate Webex Calling licenses.
To learn more about managing people in a room see the Memberships API. For information about how to allocate Hybrid Services licenses to people, see the Managing Hybrid Services guide.
