History operations

History operations allow to query historical information of nevisIDM entities, i.e., how the entity and its attributes have changed. Every operation applied to an entity is returned, specifying also the actor (who performed the operation), the timestamp of the operation, the version number of the entity, as well as the type of operation (created, modified, deleted). All history operations support optional paging. You can therefore set the numRecords and skipRecords property. Note that in the special case where the query matches multiple logical entities (for example getting the history by extIdof a user whose extId has been reused), each one of them will be paged individually.

In contrast to all other methods, the data room restrictions are not enforced on the history operations. A user that has the right to retrieve information from the history operations will be able to retrieve the information from any user within the same client. For this reason, only the roles root, soapTechAccess and soapTechAccessReadOnly are authorized by default to use the history methods.
