access/entry/userlist

Outputs a list of usernames. The "*" user and any users with a zero-length name are excluded.

The function is used internally to populate the "Owner" dropdown in Digital Video Recorder -> Finished Recordings -> Edit. It MUST be called by a user without ADMIN privileges, otherwise an empty list is returned.

{
   "entries" : [
      {
         "key" : "myUserName",
         "val" : "myUserName"
      }, ...
   ]
}

ipblock/entry/class

Lists the text strings, options and defaults used when configuring access controls within the TVH GUI (ie Configuration -> Users -> IP Blocking Records).

ipblock/entry/create

Creates a new IP-based access record.

• conf The JSON object describing the access record.

ipblock/entry/grid

Lists IP-block records. See Common Parameters for details of selection parameters.

{
   "entries" : [
      {
         "prefix" : "10.0.0.0/8",
         "enabled" : true,
         "comment" : "Don't allow guests",
         "uuid" : "95a81ed085a1d1a9d8647400a878594d"
      }
   ],
   "total" : 1
}

passwd/entry/class

Lists the text strings, options and defaults used when configuring access controls within the TVH GUI (ie Configuration -> Users -> Passwords).

passwd/entry/create

Creates a new password record.

• conf The JSON object describing the record.

passwd/entry/grid

Lists passwords for users. Note that "password" is in clear-text while "password2" is base64-encoded with a static prefix. See Common Parameters for details of selection parameters.

{
   "total" : 1,
   "entries" : [
      {
         "password" : "XxXxXxXx",
         "uuid" : "2fa9ebf7e421a537ac032a6905134137",
         "username" : "xxxxxx",
         "enabled" : true,
         "wizard" : true,
         "password2" : "Base64EncodedPassword"
      }, ...
   ]
}

If authentication for the user is by persistent token (requires TVHeadend > 4.3.1500) the entry has some extra fields:

{
   "total" : 1,
   "entries" : [
      {
         "password" : "",
         "uuid" : "2fa9ebf7e421a537ac032a6905134137",
         "username" : "xxxxxx",
         "enabled" : true,
         "wizard" : true,
         "password2" : "Base64EncodedPassword"
         "auth": [
            "enable"
         ],
         "authcode": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
   ]
}
