Setting Up a Guest User

Perform the following steps to set up the guest user:

1. Enable the Guest User functionality using the Organization Management User Interface of the following API: PATCH https://<URL_of_the_Instance>/api/user-management/v1/organization/info with the following minimum required sample payload:

   {  
     "GuestUserEnabled": true
   }

   CODE

2. Create a guest user using the User Creation User Interface or the following API: POST https://<URL_of_the_Instance>/api/user-management/v1/user/guest.


   {
     "FirstName": "{FirstName}",
     "LastName": "{LastName}",
     "Email": "{}",
     "Alias": "guest",
   }

   CODE
   

   The guest user role and permission group are automatically added for the guest user. Administrators can update the GuestUserPermissionGroup to allow or amend permission for any custom object.

3. Update the environment.ts > userId parameter with the guest user ID created in the first step and the loginEndpoint parameter with the authentication endpoint for the Guest User functionality.

4. Create a configuration using the following API: POST https://<URL_of_the_Instance>/api​/config-management​/v1​/configurations with the following minimum required sample payload to whitelist the APIs that are not part of the out-of-the-box template and that you want to utilize with the guest user functionality:
   

   

   • You must pass the exact configuration category and configuration name that are available in the following payload.
   • The syntax pattern must be the same that is available in the following payload. For example, \"Route\":\"{endpoint}\",\"Method\":\"{API method that you want to allow}\"

   {
     "Category": "guestuser",
     "Name": "allowedroutes",
     "Value": "[{\"Route\":\"/api/catalog/v1/products\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"\/api\/order\/v1\/orders\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"\/api\/quote\/v1\/quotes\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},
             {\"Route\":\"\/api\/catalog\/v1\/products\/details\",\"Method\":\"POST\"},{\"Route\":\"\/api\/order\/v1\/order\/{ParentId}\/orderlineitems\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},
   		  {\"Route\":\"/api/revenue-admin/v1/storefronts/active\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/catalog/v1/price-lists/active\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/catalog/v1/search\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},
   		  {\"Route\":\"/api/catalog/v1/categories\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/revenue-admin/v1/accounts/active\",\"Method\":\"GET\"}, 
             {\"Route\":\"/api/revenue-admin/v1/flows/{flowname}/settings/{settingname}\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/catalog/v1/search\",\"Method\":\"POST\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/revenue-
             admin/v1/flows/{flowName}/views\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/revenue-admin/v1/flows/{flowname}/displays\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/order/v1/orders/{Id}\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},
             {\"Route\":\"/api/catalog/v1/products/compare\",\"Method\":\"POST\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/catalog/v1/products/{productId}\",\"Method\":\"GET\"},{\"Route\":\"/api/quote/v1/quotes/{Id}\",\"Method\":\"GET\"}]"
   }

   CODE
