UCCX Configuration API assign Supervisor Capabilities

Philip Woelfel

Hello!

I'm trying to automate creating and assign resources on an UCCX through the configuration REST API. I successfully managed to sync resources from CUCM, assign resource groups and teams but I'm stuck with the supervisor capabilities. If I manually make a resource supervisor I can assign the resource to teams as secondary supervisor but I haven't found a way to give the user the supervisor capability.

I found this four year old post in the community which has a crude workaround but no real solution: https://community.cisco.com/t5/contact-center/add-supervisor-capability-through-uccx-api/td-p/4067378

There are APIs for changing advanced supervisor capabilities but those can't even be used if the resource isn't manually changed to supervisor beforehand: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/contact-center-express/add-remove-or-modify-advanced-supervisor-capabilities/#add-remove-or-modify-advanced-supervisor-capabilities

The resource has a "type" field that seems to indicate (the documentation doesn't specify it) if the resource is a normal agent (value=1) or a supervisor (value=2): https://developer.cisco.com/docs/contact-center-express/data-structure-for-resource/#data-structure-for-resource 
But if I try to modify the type through a PUT request I get the following error: "Trying to modify unmodifiable fields [type]"

So is there an API to add the supervisor capability (and probably any of the other ones like Administrator or Reporting) like it can be done in the UI?

I have never tried changing a user from an agent to a supervisor using the API, so I don't have first handle knowledge. The account you use to authenticate with the API would have to be an admin account, not a supervisor. I suspect that would be a different API all than just updating the user. That is a guess since the area where you assign supervisor capability is in a different area of the GUI.
