Multi-User and Multi-DC Support

In the PHP SDK, multi-user functionality is achieved using the switchUser() method. To use this method, you need to provide the user, environment, token, and SDK configuration details.

Please note that only one user can send requests at a time. If another user need to send requests, the switchUser() method must be used prior to sending the requests.


  (new InitializeBuilder())
  ->user($user)
  ->environment($environment)
  ->token($token)
  ->SDKConfig($configInstance)
  ->switchUser();

To Remove a user's configuration in SDK. Use the below code


Initializer::removeUserConfiguration($user, $environment);

  1. The program execution starts from main().

  2. The details of user1 is given in the variables user1, token1, environment1.

  3. Similarly, the details of another user user2 is given in the variables user2, token2, environment2

    Note:If you have enabled multi-dc support in the client app, the token object will be DC specific. In multi-DC enabled case, the client-id will be the same for different DCs for the same org, but the tokens (grant, refresh and access) will be different. The client-secret could be the same or different, depending on how you have configured it.

  4. Then, the Switch user function is used to switch between the User 1 and User 2 as required.

  5. Based on the latest switched user, the $this->getRecords($moduleAPIName) will fetch record.
