User API Documentation

This is the users management API. It allows you to add, update, and remove users from the omNovia database.

Note: You will need to have a skilled web programmer who has a strong knowledge of programming languages such as PHP in order to implement these APIs.

First add the user; then add the room access. You must know the roomID.

NOTE: Please review the SSO API. Using SSO, you can have your customers in your own database and set your own login rules.
To enable the API, please contact omNovia Sales.
