Set User Default view using REST API

I had a requirement to update users default view based on their role  programmatically in Bulk  and thought sharing this info that may be helpful for someone

Below script will update users Account entity default view to “Active Accounts”

You need to pass  Entity Typecode,ViewID, Language Code

var entity = {};
entity.PersonalizationSettings = “<DefaultGridViews> <DefaultGridView> <EntityTypeCode>1</EntityTypeCode> <ChildEntityName></ChildEntityName> <QueueId></QueueId> <ViewId>{00000000-0000-0000-00AA-000010001002}</ViewId> <ViewType>1039</ViewType> </DefaultGridView> </DefaultGridViews>”;

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open(“POST”, encodeURI(Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + “/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/UserSettingsSet(guid’3472C864-F9EC-4FB4-8C35-CFD630ED0696‘)”), true);
req.setRequestHeader(“Accept”, “application/json”);
req.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “application/json; charset=utf-8″);
req.setRequestHeader(“X-HTTP-Method”, “MERGE”);
req.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState === 4) {
req.onreadystatechange = null;
if (this.status === 204 || this.status == 1223) {
alert(“Updated”); //Success – No Return Data – Do Something
}
else {
alert(this.statusText);
}
}
};
req.send(JSON.stringify(entity));
