RerouteUserTaskRedirection API

Changes the target user of an existing task redirection without modifying the start and end dates. Use this when a user's tasks are already being redirected and you want to point them to a different person.

To create a new redirection from scratch, use SetUserTaskRedirection. To remove a redirection entirely, use RemoveUserTaskRedirection.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/RerouteUserTaskRedirection

Methods

GET /srv.asmx/RerouteUserTaskRedirection?authenticationTicket=...&userName=...&redirectTasksToUser=...
POST /srv.asmx/RerouteUserTaskRedirection (form data)
SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/RerouteUserTaskRedirection

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`authenticationTicket`	string	Yes	Authentication ticket obtained from `AuthenticateUser`.
`userName`	string	Yes	Login name of the user whose task redirection target should be changed.
`redirectTasksToUser`	string	Yes	Login name of the new user to redirect tasks to.

Response

Success Response

<root success="true" />

Error Response

<root success="false" error="Access Denied" />

Required Permissions

The calling user must be one of:

The user themselves (self-service — rerouting their own redirection), or
A User Manager, or
A Library Manager.

Anonymous access is not permitted.

Preconditions

The user specified by userName must already have an active task redirection configured. If no redirection exists, the call returns an error. Use SetUserTaskRedirection to create a new redirection.

What Happens on Success

The existing task redirection for userName is updated so that tasks are forwarded to redirectTasksToUser instead of the previous target. The start date and end date from the existing redirection are preserved (the start date may be adjusted to the current time if the original start date is already in the past).

Example

GET Request

GET /srv.asmx/RerouteUserTaskRedirection
    ?authenticationTicket=3f7a1b2c-4d5e-6f7a-8b9c-0d1e2f3a4b5c
    &userName=john.smith
    &redirectTasksToUser=alice.jones

POST Request

POST /srv.asmx/RerouteUserTaskRedirection HTTP/1.1
Host: yourserver
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

authenticationTicket=3f7a1b2c-4d5e-6f7a-8b9c-0d1e2f3a4b5c&userName=john.smith&redirectTasksToUser=alice.jones

Notes

This API only changes the redirection target. The date window is inherited from the existing record.
If you need to change both the target and the date window, remove the existing redirection with RemoveUserTaskRedirection and create a new one with SetUserTaskRedirection.
To verify the updated redirection, use GetUserTaskRedirectionTo.

GetUserTaskRedirectionTo – Get the current redirection target for a user.
GetUserTaskRedirectionsFrom – Get all users who are redirecting their tasks to a specified user.
SetUserTaskRedirection – Set or update a task redirection with a specific date window.
RemoveUserTaskRedirection – Remove a user's task redirection.

Error Codes

Error	Description
`[900]`	Authentication failed — invalid credentials.
`[901]`	Session expired or invalid authentication ticket.
User not found	The specified `userName` or `redirectTasksToUser` does not exist.
Access Denied	Calling user is not the target user, a User Manager, or a Library Manager.
No existing redirection	The user does not have a task redirection configured. Use SetUserTaskRedirection to create one.
