Parameters Required On Request |
Credentials |
This method's request contains a credentials tag to identify and authorize the calling user and an optional include tag to indicate which instances to include in the response. Once the user credentials are verified, the method returns an XML document describing the instance specified in the credentials, or the complete set of all instances to which this user has access. If the Multiple Instance feature has not been purchased, this call always returns a single ele- ment for the instance to which the user belongs.

credentials element |
|||
|
Tag Name |
credentials |
||
|
Description |
All API calls must contain a single credentials element to identify the user invoking the API. The API call is then performed as this user (any audit trail or his- tory of actions in the system will show that this user performed the action), and therefore the user must have the required permissions to perform the action in order for the API call to succeed. |

N |
Either true or false. Whether the response should include other instances besides the single instance specified in the credentials The default, if the element or its attribute is not present, is false. If included and is true, then the API should return the list of all instances to which the user has access. These instances are not returned in any nested or parent-indicating fashion; they merely are enumerated with the properties as shown in the API. The first instance returned is always the default instance for the user. |
