Get a user stamp for approvals

DeepakK

Hello Anaplanners,

I have a dashboard that allows users to approve or reject requests. I would like the User name to be stamped somewhere (probably a line item) once they choose to approve / reject.

Example: Cost Center 100 is requesting 1 more Employee for Job: Developer. It needs approval from Manager, HR, and Finance. As each of them click the box, I want the specific user to be stamped and also be visible in UX.

Any suggestions?

For user id you could use the below code.

import requests

# Set the Anaplan API credentials and endpoint
base_url = "https://api.anaplan.com"
workspace_id = "Your Anaplan Workspace ID"
model_id = "Your Anaplan Model ID"
user_name = "Your Anaplan User Name"
password = "Your Anaplan Password"

# Authenticate and get an access token
auth_url = f"{base_url}/auth/oauth/token"
auth_payload = {
    "grant_type": "password",
    "username": user_name,
    "password": password
}
auth_response = requests.post(auth_url, data=auth_payload)
access_token = auth_response.json()["access_token"]

# Make a GET request to the Users API endpoint
users_url = f"{base_url}/1/3/workspaces/{workspace_id}/models/{model_id}/users"
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"AnaplanAuthToken {access_token}"
}
response = requests.get(users_url, headers=headers)

# Extract the user ID from the response
users = response.json()["users"]
user_id = None
for user in users:
    if user["name"] == user_name:
        user_id = user["id"]
        break

print(f"The user ID is {user_id}")

for getting other id's required in the code, you can refer to the
