New users defaulting as Author

When new users signup via Okta they Collibra is defaulting them as Authors. This is causing us to run out of licenses and I have to go in and change user to Consumers.

Is there a way to change this?

Ah! I’m happy you’re raising this issue. I had the exact same thing happening to me!
I don’t think it does that anymore, it was probably a very temporary bug in the platform.

During that time, I have developed a routine to restore the “Consumer” license for all authors that only have a “required license = Consumer”.

It can be done through the REST or JAVA API.

query = {
    "ViewConfig":{
        "Resources":{
            "User":{
                "id": {"name": "id"},
                "userName": {"name": "userName"},
                "licenseType": {"name": "licenseType"},
                "requiredLicenseType": {"name": "requiredLicenseType"},
            }
        }
    }
}
r = c.post('outputModule/export/json', json=query)
df = pd.json_normalize(r.json()['view']['User0'])
for row in df[(df.licenseType == 'AUTHOR') & (df.requiredLicenseType == 'CONSUMER')].itertuples():
    r = c.patch(f"users/{row.id}", json={"licenseType": "CONSUMER"})
