Hi everyone,

 

I use User A in The Box to control the files and folders.

I create the box app by this user and try to create Cron-job to get user event log automatically in server-side.

I used JWTAuth and authenticate sucessfully but authenrticated user is ***email address removed for privacy*** created automatically. With that user I alsway get event log with no result. 

{'entries': [], 'chunk_size': 0, 'next_stream_position': 81642***phone number removed for privacy***}

Because it not a user A I think.

Other way, When I use develop token to authen, I can get all of event logs.

 

There is any way to get all event logs by JWTAuth user?

    We get all events for all users using enterprise events as a JWT AutomationUser using Azure Functions but if you want to get user events, you can do this...

     

    var adminClient = sdk.getAppAuthClient('enterprise', ENTERPRISE_ID);

// At this point, I'm just a JWT AutomationUser
adminClient.users.get(adminClient.CURRENT_USER_ID, null, function(err, currentUser) {
  if(err) throw err;  console.log('Hello, ' + currentUser.name + '!');
});

// So you can get a particular user and call functions as that user
adminClient.enterprise.getUsers({filter_term: "ken.domen@nike.com"}, function (err, users) { 
  var userId = users.entries[0].id;
  var appUserClient = sdk.getAppAuthClient('user', userId);
  
  appUserClient.events.get(null, function(err, events) {
    events.entries.forEach(function(event) {
      console.log(event);
    }, this);
  });
});

    Thank for you quick response.

    In Python, base on your code, I was tried to get enteprise user and I can get user event log sucessfully.

    Here is my code.

     

    auth = JWTAuth(
    client_id='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    client_secret='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    enterprise_id='0000000',
    jwt_key_id='yyyyyyy',
    rsa_private_key_file_sys_path='oauth\private.pem',
    store_tokens=callback_token
    )

    auth.authenticate_instance()
    client = Client(auth)
    auth.authenticate_app_user(client.user("***email address removed for privacy***))

    I don't know it is the best way or not, I will try out more.

    The big thanks for your help.
