• Step 1: Create a new user in Sandbox
  • Step 2: Verify that your new end user was created
  • Step 3: See your user and explore Admin Portal

Getting started with App Services:

Download the Sandbox Project and JavaScript SDK.

You’ve created your account, so get started with App Services in three easy steps:

  • 1
     Create an app user in the sample Sandbox app;
  • 2
     Verify that your new app user was created;
  • 3
     See your app user and explore the App Services Admin Portal.
 Download the Sandbox Project

Make sure you’re using the latest version of your browser.

Note: this tutorial is not currently compatible with Internet Explorer.

Link the Sandbox project to your App Services account.

Unzip the project and open index.html in an HTML editor. Then locate this code (it’s near the top):

Usergrid.ApiClient.init('<your org>', 'sandbox');

Change the Sandbox app's organization name so it connects with your App Services account.

Replace with {your orgname} so the code looks like this:
Usergrid.ApiClient.init('{your orgname}', 'sandbox');

Save your changes.

Create a new user in the Sandbox app.

Now that the Sandbox app is linked to your Apigee account you can run the app and create a new user.

To run the Sandbox app:

  • 1
     Open "index.html" in a web browser (double-click the file);
  • 2
     Enter new end user details in the form that appears;
  • 3
     Click Create User.

Verify the new app user was created.

The Sandbox app created an app user in your Apigee account through an API. By setting up an Apigee account, you’re given this API to manage your app's entities. You can verify that the app user was created by calling the same API to retrieve all app users in the app.

Test your API.

GET http://api.usergrid.com//sandbox/users

Response

Send your API call to see the response.

Explore the Admin Portal.

The Admin Portal helps you visualize and manage your entities and apps. You can see how your app user was created and stored in the sample app by looking at the Users section in the Admin Portal.

There’s a lot more to explore there, including groups, permissions, collections, activities and other essential app-building blocks.
