class InsightIdentity

Maturity: 35

InsightIdentity is a data class that represents the identity properties of sharedInsight items in Microsoft Office 365 services.

File:
/tf/active/vicechatdev/SPFCsync/venv/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/office365/directory/insights/identity.py
Lines:
4 - 5
Complexity:
simple

Purpose

This class serves as a complex type container for storing and managing identity-related properties of shared insight items within the Office 365 ecosystem. It inherits from ClientValue, which provides serialization and deserialization capabilities for client-server communication. The class is used to encapsulate identity information when working with Microsoft Graph API's insights functionality, particularly for shared resources and collaborative features.

Source Code

class InsightIdentity(ClientValue):
    """Complex type containing properties of sharedInsight items."""

Parameters

Name Type Default Kind
bases ClientValue -

Parameter Details

bases: Inherits from ClientValue, which provides the base functionality for client-side value objects that can be serialized/deserialized for API communication with Office 365 services

Return Value

Instantiation returns an InsightIdentity object that can hold identity properties for sharedInsight items. The object inherits serialization methods from ClientValue that return dictionary representations suitable for API requests.

Class Interface

Methods

__init__()

Purpose: Initializes a new InsightIdentity instance, inheriting initialization from ClientValue base class

Returns: None - constructor initializes the object

to_json() -> dict

Purpose: Serializes the InsightIdentity object to a JSON-compatible dictionary (inherited from ClientValue)

Returns: Dictionary representation of the object suitable for JSON serialization and API communication

set_property(name: str, value: any) -> None

Purpose: Sets a property value on the InsightIdentity object (inherited from ClientValue)

Parameters:

  • name: The name of the property to set
  • value: The value to assign to the property

Returns: None - modifies the object in place

get_property(name: str, default_value: any = None) -> any

Purpose: Retrieves a property value from the InsightIdentity object (inherited from ClientValue)

Parameters:

  • name: The name of the property to retrieve
  • default_value: Optional default value to return if property doesn't exist

Returns: The value of the requested property or the default value if not found

Attributes

Name Type Description Scope
_properties dict Internal dictionary storing the property values of the InsightIdentity object (inherited from ClientValue) instance

Dependencies

Required Imports

from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue
from office365.insights.insight_identity import InsightIdentity

Usage Example

from office365.insights.insight_identity import InsightIdentity
from office365.runtime.client_value import ClientValue

# Instantiate an InsightIdentity object
identity = InsightIdentity()

# The object can be used as part of Office 365 API requests
# Typically populated by API responses or used to construct requests
# Example: Setting properties (inherited from ClientValue)
identity.set_property('id', 'user@example.com')
identity.set_property('displayName', 'John Doe')

# Serialize to dictionary for API communication
identity_dict = identity.to_json()

# The object is commonly used within larger Office 365 SDK operations
# such as retrieving or managing shared insights

Best Practices

  • This class is typically instantiated and populated by the Office 365 SDK during API responses rather than manually created
  • Use inherited methods from ClientValue for property management (set_property, get_property) to ensure proper serialization
  • The class follows the Office 365 SDK pattern where complex types are represented as ClientValue subclasses
  • When working with insights data, this object should be used in conjunction with other Office 365 SDK classes for proper context
  • Ensure proper authentication and permissions are configured before using insights-related functionality
  • The class is immutable in terms of its structure but properties can be set/modified through inherited methods
