Back to the list of all defined endpoints
This repository allows to manage the profile item linked to a particular eperson. The specific type of item with which the profile is modeled depends on the dspace configuration (by default it is the Person type). If the particular dspace instance doesn't handle the "profile" type then these endpoints are disabled.
GET /api/eperson/profiles/
This operation is not currently supported.
GET /api/eperson/profiles/<:eperson-uuid>
Provide information about a specific profile. Only the Administrators or the owner eperson can access this endpoint.
The JSON response document is as follow
{
"id": "eb645ef8-1373-41eb-bf67-6afcea7e2069",
"visible": true,
"orcid": "0000-0002-8310-6788",
"orcidSynchronization": {
"mode": "MANUAL",
"publicationsPreference": "ALL",
"fundingsPreference": "ALL",
"profilePreferences": ["BIOGRAPHICAL", "IDENTIFIERS"]
},
"type": "profile"
}
Attributes:
- id: the UUID of the EPerson who owns the profile. This also corresponds to the ID of the profile.
- visible: this property provides a quick way to add/remove the Anonymous READ policy. When set to "true", then the Anonymous READ Policy is added (and the profile becomes accessible to anonymous users). When set to "false", then the Anonymous READ policy is removed (and the profile is no longer accessible anonymously). Keep in mind, this setting only impacts the Anonymous READ policy. So, if other custom READ policies exist on the profile, those policies will take effect when "visible=false".
- orcid: the orcid id
- orcidSynchronization: contains the orcid synchronization mode and preferences
- type: the resource type (profile)
The orcid and orcidSynchronization attributes are not showed if the given profile is not linked to any ORCID account.
Exposed links:
- item: the item with which the profile is modeled
- eperson: the eperson related to the profile
It would respond with:

- 401 Unauthorized - if you are not authenticated
- 403 Forbidden - if you are not logged in with sufficient permissions to view the profile

POST /api/eperson/profiles?eperson=<:eperson-uuid>
Create a new profile for the specified person or for the current user. This action can only be done by the EPerson themselves or an Administrator.

In case of response with status 201 the endpoint returns the newly created resource, while in case of 422 it returns the resource that generated the conflict.
To create a new profile use
curl -i -X POST ${dspace-url}/api/eperson/profiles?eperson=eb645ef8-1373-41eb-bf67-6afcea7e2069 -H "Content-Type:application/json"
POST /api/eperson/profiles?eperson=<:eperson-uuid>

Parameters:
- eperson-uuid (optional): the uuid of eperson for which the profile is to be claimed; if not specified, the eperson is the authenticated one
Status codes:
- 201 Created - if the operation succeed

Using the ResourcePolicies endpoint directly is possible to give more complex permissions.
To hide or unhide a profile use
curl -i -X PATCH ${dspace-url}/api/eperson/profiles/eb645ef8-1373-41eb-bf67-6afcea7e2069 --data '[ { "op": "replace", "path": "/visible", "value": true }]' -H "Content-Type:application/json"
