How to find sco-id for principal?

Thanks! I missed that important piece.

Thank you for responding. I had seen sco-shortcuts, but the problem is the sco-shortcuts call uses the principal-id for the user currently logged in. In our case, the person to be deleted will not be logged in - an admin person will be. The call would be perfect if it accepted a principal-id parameter.

Any other ideas?

Page 42 of the XML API. It'll take a little bit of work, but as far as I can tell, it's the best way to find the sco.

Find a SCO when you do not know the sco-id
1. Call sco-shortcuts to get a list of root folders on Connect Enterprise:
https://example.com/api/xml?action=sco-shortcuts
2. Parse the response for a type of the root folder that would logically contain the SCO, for
example, my-courses for a course the user has created.
3. Parse the resulting sco element for a sco-id:
<sco tree-id="4930295" sco-id="2006258748" type="my-courses">
<domain-name> http://example.com</domain-name>
</sco>
4. Create a call to sco-expanded-contents to list the contents of the folder, adding an exact
match filter, if possible:
https://example.com/api/xml?action=sco-expanded-contents
&sco-id=2006258748&filter-name=All About Web Communities
You have several choices of filters:
■ An exact match filter on name or url-path (like filter-name or filter-url-path),
if you know the name or URL of the SCO
■ A greater-than or less-than date filter (filter-gt-date or filter-lt-date) on
date-begin, date-created, or date-modified, if you know one of those dates
■ A partial name filter (like filter-like-name), if you do not know the exact SCO
name. However, using this filter might affect system performance.
5. Parse the response for the sco-id:
<sco depth="1" sco-id="2006745671" folder-id="2006258748" type="folder"
icon="folder" lang="en" source-sco-id="2006745669" display-seq="0"
