Creating and managing end users of the solution

Learn about the ExternalUser endpoint collection, which lets you create and manage external users (end users of the solution).

Solutions powered by Affective Computing (powered by Virtue) can have two kinds of users depending on their functional role:

User type	Description
Internal users	Administrative or managerial users who might be responsible for feeding actions and managing logic blueprints. Typically, they wouldn't interact with the solution directly as end-users, and can therefore be considered as internal users.
External users	Users who interact directly with the solution as end-users and participate in interactions. These users can be considered as external users. The data of external users is completely anonymized. Note: External users could be the same or a different set of users from internal users. External users must have user IDs to access the platform.

EDAA™, the technology that powers Affective Computing, can identify recurring end-users within the infrastructure and deliver personalized content that takes into account all of their previous interactions with the solution.

You can use the endpoints in the ExternalUser collection to declare and manage end users (external users). You can do the following:

• Create a user ID for a new user

• View a user's details

• Add details for a user

• Update the application language for a user

• Update session information for a user
