Search Password Documents ​

GET /winapi/searchdocuments/password

Searching for password documents in Password Lists can be achieved by passing a GET request, and the level of access to documents is the same as when the user is logged into the web User Interface.

  • You can search for Password record documents within a specific Password List by specifying the PasswordListID, or if you leave this blank, you can search across all Password Lists.
  • If you want to return all Password record documents in a Password List, or across all Password Lists, you can also leave 'searchcriteria' blank.
  • Searching is performed on the Document Name and Description, as well as the name of the Password List the document belongs to.
  • Searching only in specific Password records for documents is not supported - you instead search within a Password List for the Password documents.
