Example Request​

Let's say you gathered all the information needed to build the API call.

  • Your {baseURL} is: https://cloud.uipath.com/{organizationName}/identity_
  • Your {access_token} is: 1234 (for length considerations).
  • The {partitionGlobalId} is: 3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6
  • You want to resolve a user with ID aad|a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890.

The call should resemble the following example (cURL):

curl --location --request POST 'https://cloud.uipath.com/{organizationName}/identity_/api/Directory/Resolve/3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "entityId": "aad|a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "entityType": "User"
}'
curl --location --request POST 'https://cloud.uipath.com/{organizationName}/identity_/api/Directory/Resolve/3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1234' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "entityId": "aad|a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "entityType": "User"
}'

Here's the response body for a successful call:

{
    "objectType": "DirectoryUser",
    "source": "aad",
    "identifier": "aad|a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "name": "[email protected]",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "displayName": "John Doe",
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "jobTitle": "Software Engineer",
    "companyName": "Contoso",
    "city": "Seattle",
    "department": "Engineering",
    "isActive": true,
    "creationTime": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}
