I'm creating an app in iOS using Parse where a district administrator would bulk create accounts for all students in the district using their student information system data.
I'm wondering if any method exists where a bulk number of accounts can be created? I'm aware that I can setup a for-in statement to make them all one-by-one using signUpInBackground(), but this method causes the current user to be logged out and the newly created user to be logged in... thus losing the district administrator session.

For my web app I am trying to allow the user to add multiple payment methods. I am using the user token in order to gain access to the income feature. However, there appears to be no way to allow multiple payment methods because the user token only corresponds to the data most recently entered through Plaid Link and trying to create a second user token fails because you cannot have repeat client user ids. How exactly do you get around this?

You may not get around obtaining or creating the credentials of those multiple test user accounts.
Typically, there would be some registration API where new users can sign up with their app on their device, which then associates their account with their device ID.
So you would want to look at creating two data setup scripts:
a script that creates those users' accounts in the system (e.g. sign up via end user or back office web UI, or API or database script),
a script that calls the above registration API.
Then you capture the user data, i.e. device ID, account ID, credentials etc. in a Datapool file (e.g. CSV) for your actual load test script to iterate through.
i am working on a multi user application where i have two tables for authentication, admins table and users table.
currently when a user registers, their information gets saved in the admins
table(which automatically makes them admins for the registered account) and are authenticated using the same table.
These admins can create other users and assign roles and permisions to restrict them from accessing certain information associated with that account.
These users are saved in the users table with admin_id to track which account they belong to,they are authenticated using the same users table.
Now my issue is how to track all records created by all these different users of the account.
For instance when and admin creates a post, the admin_id will be used to track the post and when a user creates a post the user_id will be used to track the post and with the help of a hasManyThrough relationship between the Admin,User and Post models all posts associated with the account can be obtained and displayed to the admin.
But for a case where a user is given the permision to view all posts associated with the account i do not know how this is going to work.
Initially, what i wanted to do to avoid all these confusion was, during authentication,i would just get the id (if admins table is being used for auth) or admin_id (if users table is being used) and store as account_id in localstorage or session.
This way, account_id will be the same for all the different users of the account and posts created by an admin of an account will be tracked with the same id as posts created by different users of the same account.
So is this approach good enough?
Is there a better approach to this problem?
and finally is this a dumb question?
Help me out guys!
Thanks in advance.
We have developed an app that let user login with facebook. The app has been granted all required permissions to retrieve name, email, gender and age range etc. But our app developer stored only id,name and email while user login. Now we need to retrieve gender and age range of all those users who have logged in the app.
Is there a way to rerun user query to retrieve those data? I am looking to develop an program using Spring-social and RestFB but it needs user login action to retrieve required data which is problem in our case since we cannot recreate login action again.
As long as the user granted public_profile permission to your app, and you have their app-scoped user id, you can make the API call using your app access token.
And if you are looking to request this data for a lot of users, then you should optimize your requests in the following ways:
request the fields you need only: /user-id?fields=id,gender
request data for multiple users in one go: /?ids=user-id-1,user-id-2,user-id-3&fields=fields=id,gender – https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/v2.5#multirequests
perhaps even use Batch Requests if necessary, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/making-multiple-requests/
I am building an app with Role based Security. I have built my Record Types (Projects, Accounts, HistoryLog, Financial, Customer, etc) in Cloudkit Dashboard, and I have created Security Roles as well. I have roles named: Executive and DeptManager. I have assigned to the Record Types the appropriate access by Role. I have also assigned to the user in the special Record Type "Users" the role of either Executive or DeptManager.
I have successfully accessed and manipulated data in the Record Types. Now I am implementing Role based viewing in the App. So on the first view there is a log in "like" feature, so after i discover the user, I want to display the Roles of that user in a PickerView for them to select. Once they select a role I will them take them to the appropriate view. For example I may have the role of both DeptManager and Executive. If today I select DeptManager, I will be taken to a view that allows me to enters Production Metrics. If another day I select Executive, I will see performance metrics for all the departments that report to me.
Here is an image from CloudKit Dashboard showing the info I'm trying to retrieve. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Currently it is not possible to get the roles a user is in. At the moment the information that is returned from the discoverUserInfoWithUserRecordID is very limited. I also hope it will be extended soon. Currently you only get a userRecordID, first name and last name. If you do want such functionality, then the only solution is creating a shadow registration which you could query. You then would have a challenge keeping these 2 in sync. That has to be done manually.
