I am trying to create a user with all info sent to createUser (username, password, fullname, etc) but couldn't find a way to make the user locked (can't change password), is there a way to do this?

On a side note, when I delete users (through site admin -> users) that have been created through GalleryEmbed::createUser(), I cannot create the same user again through GalleryEmbed::createUser() (I get a STORAGE_FAILURE or COLLISION). I'm guessing this is because the entry already exists in g2_ExternalIdMap.
Would I simply be able to add in some code to delete the entry in g2_ExternalIdMap when a user gets deleted?
Is there other places that would need to be updated?

Thanks,

no, createUser won't lock the user.

if you want to lock the user, load the user object after creating it, acquire a write lock (list ($ret, $lockId) = GalleryCoreApi::acquireWriteLock($use->getId())) on the object.
then set the user-locked status with $user->setLocked(true); save it with $user->save(); and then release your write lock with GalleryCoreApi::releaseLocks($lockId);

Thanks for the response valiant, worked like a charm.

For reference, here's the code I used:


list ($ret, $user) = GalleryCoreApi::loadEntityByExternalId($uid, 'GalleryUser');
if($ret)
{
    print "An error occurred while loading the user object<br>";
    print $ret->getAsHtml();
} else {
    list ($ret, $lockId) = GalleryCoreApi::acquireWriteLock($user->getId());
    if($ret)
    {
        print "An error occurred while loading the user object<br>";
        print $ret->getAsHtml();
    } else {
        $user->setLocked(true);
        $user->save();
    }
}
GalleryCoreApi::releaseLocks($lockId);

Anyone know about the other question in my first post? It seems like I should just be able to delete the entry from g2_ExternalIdMap, is there an API I can use for this? I'm hesitant to manually edit the database.

see:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1274398&group_id=7130&atid=107130

you should be deleting users with GalleryEmbed::deleteUser().

and if that's not an option, you can delete rows from the externalIdMap with GalleryCoreApi::removeMapEntry('ExternalIdMap', array('externalId' => $id, 'entityType' => 'GalleryUser'));
or alternatively with the 'entityId' => $g2UserId.
