Activities are retrieved in reverse chronological order. The user's ID can be obtained by calling the `GET` method on either the [\/api/v1/users/me](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-users-me.md) or [\/api/v1/organisations/\{orgGroupId}/users](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orggroupid-users.md) endpoints, which retrieves a list of information associated with either the user whose access token is submitted in the request, or all users in the organisation specified by `orgGroupId`, respectively. The extent of history information retrieved in a [response](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history.md#access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history-returns) depends on the role of the Cocoon Data user (whose [access token is submitted in the request](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history.md#access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history-supported-roles-and-conditions) to this endpoint) and the user's organisation membership. If this user is an Organisation administrator in the same organisation as that of the user represented by `{userId}` in the request's URL, then more information about the Organisation administrator who performed actions on the user account (represented by `{userId}`) can be returned in the response. ## Supported roles and conditions This API endpoint supports requests utilising Cocoon Data user accounts with the following roles (as described in the [SafeShare Administrator's](/CS1.2/admin-platform/administering-platform-administrator-users.md#platform-administrators-and-user-roles) and [Organisation Administrator's](/CS1.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#an-organisation-users-roles) Guides): * [Originator](/CS1.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#originator-role), [Collaborator](/CS1.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#collaborator-role) and [SafeShare administrator](/CS1.2/admin-platform/administering-platform-administrator-users.md#platform-administrator-role) - when this user's account is the same as the one whose ID is specified by `{userId}` in the request's URL. * [Organisation administrator](/CS1.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#organisation-administrator-role) - when this Organisation administrator and the user whose ID is specified by `{userId}` in the URL are members of the same organisation. The Cocoon Data Platform's resources available to a Cocoon Data user meeting the criteria above is determined by the access token submitted in the [header](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history.md#access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history-required-headers) of requests to this endpoint. ## Required headers The appropriate access token as the `Bearer` token: * `Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0NjcwMTY2NjYsInVzZXJfbmFtZSI6ImFsZXgub...` The following header is required if the body of the request has a JSON object: * `Content-Type: application/json` ## Optional parameters The following optional parameters can also be sent in the **URL** of the GET request: * **organisationId** - The ID of the organisation from which to obtain more information about Organisation administrator activities on the user's account (specified by `{userId}` in the request's URL). \ **Note:** This parameter is only utilised by the Cocoon Data Platform when the Organisation administrator (whose [access token is submitted in the request](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history.md#access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history-supported-roles-and-conditions) to this endpoint) is a member of the organisation represented by this **organisationId** parameter. * **cursor** - The ID for an activity entry (typically the *chronologically previous* one), retrieved in the [response](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history.md#access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history-returns) (below) from a request to this endpoint. This ID value relates to the activity entry that continues on from this response's last activity entry, which in turn was based on the combination of the values for **cursor** and **pageSize** (below) submitted in this response's request. The combination of these two parameters provides a mechanism for paginating activity entry results. If this **cursor** parameter is omitted, then its value is `0` by default, which is the most recent activity entry recorded on the item. * **pageSize** - A value from `1` to `100` indicating the number of activity entries to be returned in the response. If this parameter is omitted, then its value is `10` by default. \ **Example (request):** ```text theme={null} https://access-service.xy-company.com/api/v1/users/783190841862012928/history?pageSize=20 ``` ## Returns If the request succeeded, then an HTTP response status `200 OK` is returned. For successful requests only, a JSON-formatted response containing the following members is also returned: * **nextCursor** - The ID for the activity entry following the last element of the **activities** array (below) retrieved in the response. This is the *chronologically previous* activity entry (after the last one retrieved in this response). * **previousCursor** - The ID for the activity entry preceding the first element of the **activities** array (below) retrieved in the response. This is the *chronologically next* activity entry (before the first one retrieved in this response). \ **Note:** If the first activity entry is the most recent activity entry recorded on the item, then this value is `0`. * **activities** - An array of individual activity entries on the Cocoon Data user account (represented by `{userId}` in the request's URL), listed in reverse chronological order. Each element of this array contains information about one of these activity entries and is represented as an object, containing the following members: * **actor** - A member containing information about the Cocoon Data user account that performed the **action** (below). This member contains the following sub-members: * **type** - Should be `USER`, indicating that this member contains information about a Cocoon Data user account. * **id** - The ID of the Cocoon Data user's account. If the actor is an Organisation administrator and the Cocoon Data user whose [access token is submitted in the request](/CS1.2/api/access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history.md#access-service-api-v1-users-userid-history-supported-roles-and-conditions) to this endpoint (i.e. the 'requestor') is not an Organisation administrator of the organisation specified by **organisationId** in the request to this API endpoint, then this value will be `-1`. * **email** - The email address of this Cocoon Data user. If the actor is an Organisation administrator and the requestor is not an Organisation administrator of the organisation specified by **organisationId** in this endpoint's request, then this value will be an empty string. * **firstName** - The first name set by this Cocoon Data user. This is the first name that appears on the [Users](/CS1.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md) page of SafeShare Organisation Administration and the [My Account](/CS1.2/user/managing-your-account.md) feature of Cocoon Data SafeShare for Web. If the actor is an Organisation administrator and the requestor is not an Organisation administrator of the organisation specified by **organisationId** in this endpoint's request, then this value will be '`An`'. * **lastName** - The last name set by this Cocoon Data user. Like the first name (above), this appears on the **User** page of Organisation Administration and the **My Account** feature of SafeShare for Web. If the actor is an Organisation administrator and the requestor is not an Organisation administrator of the organisation specified by **organisationId** in this endpoint's request, then this value will be '`Administrator`'. * **action** - A string/enumeration (enum) value representing the individual action performed on the Cocoon Data user account (represented by `{userId}` in the request's URL). * *User account modification through the **My Account** feature of SafeShare for Web* (i.e. when the user themselves modifies their own account) - `CHANGE_PROFILE`, `EXPIRE_ACCOUNT` (a user's active sessions are terminated), `CHANGE_PASSWORD`, `RESET_PASSWORD`, `ENABLE_MFA` (two-factor authentication) and `DISABLE_MFA`. * *Addition, modification or removal of a user account through the **User** page of SafeShare Organisation Administration* (i.e. when an Organisation administrator adds, modifies or removes the account of a user who is a member of their organisation) - `CREATE_ACCOUNT`, `CHANGE_ACCOUNT` (e.g. a user account's plan is modified), `UPGRADE_ACCOUNT` (a user account's role is upgraded), `TRANSFER_SUCCEEDED` (a user's items were successfully transferred to another user within the same organisation), `TRANSFER_FAILED` and `REMOVE_FROM_ORG`. * `UNKNOWN` - Anything else that is not covered by an existing action (above). * **severity** - . * **target** - A member containing information about the Cocoon Data user account (i.e. `{userId}` in the request's URL) to which the **action** (above) was directed. This member contains the following sub-members: * **type** - Should be `USER`, indicating that this member contains information about a Cocoon Data user account. * **id** - The ID of the Cocoon Data user's account. * **email** - The email address of this Cocoon Data user. * **firstName** - The first name set by this Cocoon Data user. This is the first name that appears on the [Users](/CS1.2/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md) page of SafeShare Organisation Administration and the [My Account](/CS1.2/user/managing-your-account.md) feature of Cocoon Data SafeShare for Web. * **lastName** - The last name set by this Cocoon Data user. Like the first name (above), this appears on the **User** page of Organisation Administration and the **My Account** feature of SafeShare for Web. * **timestamp** - . **Example (response):** ```json theme={null} { "nextCursor": "0", "previousCursor": "0", "activities": [{ "actor": { "type": "USER", "id": 783190841862012928, "email": "chris.collaborator@xy-company.com", "firstName": "Chris", "lastName": "Collaborator" }, "action": "CHANGE_PASSWORD", "severity": "INFO", "target": { "type": "USER", "id": 783190841862012928, "email": "chris.collaborator@xy-company.com", "firstName": "Chris", "lastName": "Collaborator" }, "timestamp": "2016-12-01T04:42:57.630Z" }, { "actor": { "type": "USER", "id": 783190841862012928, "email": "chris.collaborator@xy-company.com", "firstName": "Chris", "lastName": "Collaborator" }, "action": "CHANGE_PROFILE", "severity": "INFO", "target": { "type": "USER", "id": 783190841862012928, "email": "chris.collaborator@xy-company.com", "firstName": "Chris", "lastName": "Collaborator" }, "timestamp": "2016-12-01T04:42:35.312Z" }, { "actor": { "type": "USER", "id": -1, "email": "", "firstName": "An", "lastName": "Administrator" }, "action": "CREATE_ACCOUNT", "severity": "INFO", "target": { "type": "USER", "id": 783190841862012928, "email": "chris.collaborator@xy-company.com", "firstName": "Chris", "lastName": "Collaborator" }, "timestamp": "2016-12-01T04:40:47.762Z" }] } ``` This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
