HTTP Method and URI
The read-only user is created using the username
and password
parameters (mandatory).
The just_validate=1
parameter validates the username and password for the read-only user.
POST /settings/readOnlyUser
Parameters:
-
username
-
password
-
just_validate (optional)
The endpoint has one additional, optional parameter just_validate=1
.
If the just_validate=1

Instead the username and password for the read-only user is validated.
