I am looking for documentation for performing administrative tasks and not just CRUD operations on existing entities. This documentation https://www.espocrm.com/documentation/development/api/ is does not include endpoints for admin functions.
I was able to scrape the browser request to find the following on my test server, which creates an entity type.
curl 'http://test.avid24.net/api/v1/EntityManager/action/createEntity' -H 'Cookie: auth-token-secret=xxxxxxxxx; auth-username=admin; auth-token=xxxxxxxxxx' -H 'Origin: http://test.avid24.net' -H 'Espo-Authorization-By-Token: true' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9' -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46NWEzNGU0MTQxOWFjZDc5YzMxMmRmZGQ0MDAyNTA5ZD I=' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'Espo-Authorization: xxxxxxxxxx' -H 'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/77.0.3865.90 Safari/537.36' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Pragma: no-cache' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01' -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' -H 'Referer: http://test.avid24.net/' -H 'DNT: 1' --data-binary '{"name":"Test","labelSingular":"Test","labelPlura l":"Tests","type":"BasePlus","stream":true,"disabl ed":false,"iconClass":"fas fa-apple-alt","color":null}' --compressed
So to create an entity type, POST data to EntityManager/action/createEntity.
Also, while looking at the permissions that can be granted to an api user, I didn't see anything that grants admin access to be able to create entity types or other admin/setup tasks. Is it safe to assume that this has to be an "admin" user?
Please help.
