Note

Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.

Request Body Elements

UserId The identifier of the user to get.

If this element is null or not provided, the response will include details for the authenticated user specified in the request header.		 long

For more information see Authentication with OAuth.		 string

Response Elements

The GetUserResponse object defines the body and header elements of the service operation response. The elements are returned in the same order as shown in the Response SOAP.

Response Body Elements

Element Description Data Type
CustomerRoles The list of roles that a user has for each customer or list of accounts.

At minimum one list item will be returned. If a user's credentials can access multiple customers, then one CustomerRole object per customer will be returned.

You can view all of your own roles across all customers; however, you will only see the roles of other users as it pertains to customers that you can access. For example let's say you@contoso.com and another-user@contoso.com can access Customer A. The other user might also have access to Customer B and C; however when you call this operation with their user identifier, you will only see their role under Customer A. When another-user@contoso.com calls this operation with their own credentials, the operation would return three CustomerRole objects.		 CustomerRole array
User A user object that contains information about the user. User

Response Header Elements

Code Syntax

The example syntax can be used with Bing Ads SDKs. See Bing Ads API Code Examples for more examples.

public async Task<GetUserResponse> GetUserAsync(
	long? userId)
{
	var request = new GetUserRequest
	{
		UserId = userId
	};

	return (await CustomerManagementService.CallAsync((s, r) => s.GetUserAsync(r), request));
}

static GetUserResponse getUser(
	java.lang.Long userId) throws RemoteException, Exception
{
	GetUserRequest request = new GetUserRequest();

	request.setUserId(userId);

	return CustomerManagementService.getService().getUser(request);
}

static function GetUser(
	$userId)
{

	$GLOBALS['Proxy'] = $GLOBALS['CustomerManagementProxy'];

	$request = new GetUserRequest();

	$request->UserId = $userId;

	return $GLOBALS['CustomerManagementProxy']->GetService()->GetUser($request);
}

response=customermanagement_service.GetUser(
	UserId=UserId)
