How to identify if the user currently logged in

Hi Fellow Developers,

Need your help for the below scenario.

I have to write an webservice which returns if the given user is logged into jive currently or not.(Note : Webservice will run on admin credentials getting target user id needs to be checked) .

I tried using Presence Manager API & online user cache both of them are not working .Also upon raising case with Jive I understood that presence manager will work only if the Lync integration is enabled which we don't have in scope of our instance .

Please let me know if there some other solution for this problem . It would be great if you can help on this.

Thanks in advance

regards,

Ramchand G

To my knowledge, there isn't a clean way to obtain this from a 3rd party check. For example, if you were running in the user session, you could see the cookies perhaps and glean their log in state from there or a call to the API, such as /people/@me

If you are running via an admin account, then the best option you have is to use WebHooks ...
Jive REST Rest API v3.9 → Webhooks service
and notify your service when a user logs in ... and then you have a quick index you can query. Determining when a user logs out though is difficult, so you may need to create an estimated time window from login to determine "still logged in".

Hope that helps.
