restore deleted user

admin guy

Hello! I made a REST API call to DELETE a user and the deletion was successful.

1) Is there a way to undelete or restore the deleted user?

2) Are there any time limits before which the deleted user has to be restored?

3) If undelete is not possible, is there a way to transfer the user's data (like leads, opportunities, etc.,) to some other user or an Admin?

I tried making a POST call sending the same details of a deleted user (like id, user_name, first and last_names), but it resulted in an HTTP 500 status. The response payload read something like 'Database failure. Please refer to sugarcrm.log for details.' Is this expected or a bug?

    Hello,

    If you have deleted Users using the REST API then you can restore it. Basically when you delete any record using REST API or SugarCRM interface it will not delete record from the database. It just mark deleted flag to true. 

    So, to restore your deleted record go to the users table of CRM database and updated value in the deleted field to '0' for desired user record.

    As SugarCRM do not delete record permanently you can restore it at any time there is no time limit to restore.

    Regarding the error with code 500, please check your php log. there might be some error in execution.

    Hope this will helps you!

    Thanks

    Thanks Maulik. So are you saying that the user could be restored by manipulating the database, but not through SugarCRM UI or REST API? If so, do you have any plans to include this feature as part of the REST API or UI?

    Also, the 500 error with a message mentioning Sugarcrm.log file is part of the response of the REST API. How do I check the log file? I guess it would be generated in the server where SugarCRM REST API is running.
