Editing Users Using API v3

To edit a user using the Helpjuice API:

  1. HTTP Method: PUT
  2. URL: https://<your-subdomain>.helpjuice.com/api/v3/users/:id
  • Replace <your-subdomain> with your Helpjuice subdomain.
  • Replace :id with the user ID.

Authentication

The API key is required for using API v3 — Learn how to obtain it here.

The API key grants Super Administrator privileges to anyone with access to it. Please be cautious about who you share it with.

 

Fields

Field Type Description
first_name String First name of the user
last_name String Last name of the user
email String Unique email of the user
role_id String Role of the user (e.g., superadmin, admin, collaborator, draftwriter, viewer)
group_ids Array IDs of the groups where the user should be added

Example Request

1. API Endpoint

PUT https://<your-account>.helpjuice.com/api/v3/users/123

2. Request Body

In the body of the request, you should include the user data you want to update in JSON format. Here is an example of the body:

{
 "user": {
   "first_name": "John",
   "last_name": "Doe",
   "email": "john@doe.com",
   "role_id": "admin",
   "group_ids": [1, 2]
 }
}
 
 

Deleting Users

Deleting Individual Users

To delete a user from your Helpjuice account:

  1. Go to Admin → Users.
  2. Find the user you want to remove.
  3. Click the Delete icon (trash can) next to their name.
  4. Confirm deletion in the popup window.

Deleting Multiple Users

Select the users you would like to remove and click on Delete.

The content created by a deleted user will not be lost. When a user is removed from the KB, it's still present to ensure all references to it are valid. In this case, the author will remain as the original one. 

 

You can also delete users via API. Check the Helpjuice API v3 article for more information.

Why is the knowledge base important?

With a knowledge base, you can allow your customers to self-help themselves, thus reducing your customer support by up to 60%. Furthermore, you can also have your team get instant answers to the questions they need without having to email themselves all using knowledge base software.

What is the purpose of a knowledge base?

The purpose of knowledge base software is to allow you to host your knowledge base/corporate wiki in one centralized 'hub'. Both your customers, and employees can now access information within seconds!
