[rhn-users] Two Questions re: XMLRPC Interface

[Steven Lee]

Hi,

I just started playing with the XMLRPC interface in hope to build some 
custom scripts to automate some tasks.  I have 2 questions:

1) There doesn't seem to be routines for manipulating activation keys. 
For example, creating an activation key, deleting an activation key, 
list all the systems activated by a specified key.  Unfortunately, we 
are using activation keys for granting a large number of users use of 
RHEL licenses (We have an academic site license).  Am I missing 
something here?  I looked through the api at 
https://rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api and couldn't find anything.

2) I tried deleting a user using "user.delete" and got a 
"permission_check_failure".  This is a sub-account that I created.  Why 
can't I delete it using XMLRPC (or the RHN web interface for that matter)?

Thanks.
