Hi,

I'm developing a UI using angular 7 and alfresco services, I'm trying to create a form page to allow creating new content in a datalist. This content must have an association with an user at the moment of creation, i'm sending the data to Create Node Children as follows:

"aspectNames": [

        "cm:auditable"

      ],

      "name": data.name,

      "nodeType": "myDataList",

      "properties": {

          "myProperty": data.name

      },

      "targets": [

        {

          "assocType": "myUserAssociation",

          "targetId" : userId

        }

      ]

 

The problem is how do I find the user node id. Search service gives me user properties like username, email, home folder, etc. but not node id.

 

Any sugestions on how can I find this info? I tried People service too but id does not include node id either

Instead of using any specific user search API, you could use the more generic node search API to lookup the user. From that you get the node ID to use for creating associations.
