CreateClient Method

Creates a new client.

Syntax

sharefile.createClient(firstName, lastName, email, company, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Creates a new client user and returns the new client id as a string. The User* properties will not be updated with the new client until the ListUsers or GetUserInfo methods are called. FirstName, LastName, and Email are required to create a client. Company can be left empty.

// Creates a client named John Brown, with the email example@example.com with no company.
string userId = shareFile.CreateClient("John", "Brown", "example@example.com", "");
