Editing/EditSURating
NAME EditSURating - edit the rating for a structural unit for the current user. DESCRIPTION The EditSURating CGI script permits a Good/Bad rating indication to be created between a user and a structural unit. PARAMETERS Standard *username* - Name of user running this CGI script. Required unless web server authentication is in use (when it is, the web server authenticated user is used instead). *password* - Password for the user. This is only required if the web server is not handling the user authentication and if no security hash parameter is being given. *security_hash* - An opaque value used to authenticate the user without requiring the password to be sent. This value is generated by a previous execution of a LUMP API script and may well be time limited. It is only required if no password or webserver authentication is done. *act_as* - Users in the SysAdmins group can elect to act on the behalf of other users once they are themselves authenticated. If this parameter is present it should contain the username of the user that should be switched to if this option is available and the real user has been authenticated successfully. Optional. *session_id* - An opaque string as far as the server is concerned that is intended solely to allow async clients to differentiate different results more easily. Optional. *json* - requests that results be returned in JSON format rather than XML. *callback* - Supplies a JSONP callback. Optional and if given the results are returned in JSONP format rather than XML. Specific for this script *suid* - ID for the Structural Unit. Required. *rating* - This needs to be set to either "good" or "bad" to indicate the rating the user wished to attach to this structural unit. Required. RESULTS For successful operations, the LUMP XML <returns> section has a <rating> element set with that returns the current rating summary for the given structural unit. By specifying the *json* or *callback* parameters in the request, the response can be returned in JSON or JSONP format rather than XML if required.
