REST API

Using the Relution REST API (Application Programming Interface)

All of Relution’s functionality is available through an extensive REST API. You can use this API to control Relution from any other application or via scripts. Documentation of the API is available via the help menu at the top right.

Create API Access Tokens

To access Relution from third-party systems or scripts, you need an API Access Token.

  1. Click on your username in the upper right corner of the Relution portal.
  2. Navigate to: Profile → Access Token → Add Access Token.
  3. Name the token and copy it.

Use the token in the X-User-Access-Token HTTP header to authenticate requests.

⚠️ The token will only be displayed once when it is created.

Example Scripts

1. Users in CSV File Format

  • In the first line of the .csv file, insert a header line with the desired property names.
  • The order of the columns is not relevant.
  • You can omit properties that are not needed.
  • Mandatory fields:

userid,email,first name,last name,password

Passwords must follow the policy under Settings → Password Policy. Phone numbers must be in international format, e.g. +4912345.

You can add up to 15 custom properties named: custom1 – custom15

👉 Download a template via the Relution Portal: Users → Users → Three dots menu → Import users via CSV → Download template

Example CSV:

name,email,givenName,surName,password,phone,position,country,managedAppleId,custom1,custom2
user1,user1@company.com,Heinz,Ketchup,p4ssw0rd,+49234346345,user1 position,user1 country,user1.id@company.com,43,Operations
user2,user2@company.com,Heinz,Ketchup,p4ssw0rd,+49234346345,user2 position,user2 country,user2.id@company.com,24,Marketing
user3,user3@company.com,Heinz,Ketchup,p4ssw0rd,+49234346345,user3 position,user3 country,user3.id@company.com,30,HR
user4,user4@company.com,Heinz,Ketchup,p4ssw0rd,+49234346345,user4 position,user4 country,user4.id@company.com,32,Sales
user5,user5@company.com,Heinz,Ketchup,p4ssw0rd,+49234346345,user5 position,user5 country,user5.id@company.com,45,Finance
user6,user6@company.com,Heinz,Ketchup,p4ssw0rd,+49234346345,user6 position,user6 country,user6.id@company.com,30,Purchase

2. Uploading Users via the Relution Portal

  1. Go to: Users → Users → Three dots menu → Import users via CSV
  2. Select your CSV file and separator.
  3. Assign imported users to one or more groups.
  4. Imported users will then appear in the overview.

3. Creating Users via the Relution API

⚠️ Relution 5.34 change:

  • User import is now a background job with states (RUNNING / FINISHED).

  • Each job stores a report per line.

  • Legacy import was removed.

  • Some column names changed:

    • first name → givenName
    • last name → surName
    • managed apple id → managedAppleId
    • phone number → phone
    • userId → name

Steps

  1. Prepare your users.csv file.
  2. Copy the bash script below into a file, e.g. uploadUserCSV.sh.
  3. Make it executable:
chmod +x ./uploadUserCSV.sh
  1. Run it:
./uploadUserCSV.sh -f 'FILEPATH' -h 'HOST' -a 'YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN' -u 'ORGANIZATION_UUID'
