- URL:https://<users-url>/createUser(POST only)
- Required Capability:Default administrator role | Security and infrastructure privilege | Add privilege
- Version Introduced:10.2.1
Description
The createUser operation allows organization administrators to pre-create either a built-in or enterprise accounts for a portal member. The type of account is determined by the value set for the provider parameter.
Note:
When an Enterprise portal is connected to an enterprise identity store, enterprise users sign in to the portal using their enterprise credentials. By default, new installations of portal do not allow accounts from an enterprise identity store to be registered to the portal automatically. Only users with accounts that have been pre-created can sign in to the portal. Alternatively, you can configure the portal to register enterprise accounts the first time the user connects to the website. See Update Security Configuration for details.
