Dear all,

I've tried several methods to get the user profile, but still in vain.

I do search the solutions from the forums and Google.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/52ceba69-5019-4175-9b34-b9e06c3472bf/rest-query-from-workflow-return-unauthorized

Because the above link is still not work for me, I arise a question here.

Actually, I would like to get a user's manager, thus I use the rest api:

[%workflow content:current site URL%]_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/extendedmanagers

However, I always get unauthorized error.

{"error":{"code":"-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException","message":{"lang":"zh-TW","value":" "}}}

Below screenshots are my web service settings.

1. Build a dictionary and set Authorization, Acception, Content-Type.

2. Call web service and set the RequestHeaders.

And, I can use the rest api in the browser to see my manager (logged in).

<d:ExtendedManagers>

<d:element>i:0#.f|membership|boss@aaa.tw</d:element>

<d:element>i:0#.f|membership|admin@aaa.tw</d:element>

</d:ExtendedManagers>

Could anybody help me to clarify this issue?

Thank you!

Hi Zuzu,

Please check if you have activated the site feature "Workflow can use app permissions" and grant full control permission to the workflow, here are some useful article related to this topic you can take a look, let us know your results.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your information, and I really grant the permission of app.

However, I still cannot get the user manager in SharePoint Designer 2013.

This time I try to develop SharePoint app from Visual Studio 2013 to get the user profile.

I create "App for SharePoint 2013" project and select "SharePoint-hosted".

But, I still got the authorization error when I call the web service: https://moviecaker-admin.sharepoint.com/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/extendedmanagers

Also upload my source code. https://db.tt/CZ21O8Hq

Thank you!

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822159.aspx

Hi,

Did you find a solution. I'm also on SharePoint online O365 and I have exactly the same problem (from SharePoint Designer 2013)...

I try set cookie to header, app step with elevated permission to fullcontroll on site collection; but again and again Unauthorized...

I'm desperate... :o(

Thanks in advance !

I'm in the same boat. I can make a call to the REST api from a workflow to a list and get a response of OK. If I try to get user profile information, however, I get "unauthorized". I followed the steps above to grant workflows app permissions but the result is the same. 

Stuck in the same problem with visual studio, here is the uls error

Exception occured in scope Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.PeopleManager.ctor. Exception=System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access Denied: This application does not have the required permissions to access profile information.
