OpCode W: Set Badges for the specified User

OpCode W: Set Badges for the specified User

This opcode is used to remove all current credential badges from the specified user and replace them with the badges in the specified list. The user must already exist. If LookupByExternalUserID is specified as one (1), then the user is located based on the ExternalUserID value. Otherwise, the user is located based on EMailAddress. The badges to set for the user are specified by either the Badge External ID or the Badge Title. Multiple badges may be specified in a caret-delimited list (^).

 

Example: CredentialBadgeList=VIP^SPEAKER^PRESS
