Response Format JSON

Required Permission

Available if listed in authorization.accesses in authentication-prod.yml and the specified access condition is matched. In the default configuration, access is granted via the YUUVIS_SYSTEM_INTEGRATOR role.

>> AUTHENTICATION Service

Description

Creates a new user with the given properties for the specified tenant.

The properties for the new user are passed in JSON format. In the response, the user ID is returned again in JSON format.

The only required parameter is username, but specifying the email parameter is recommended. The specified e-mail address is used to invite users after they have been created and in case they have forgotten their password. If no SMTP parameters are set for a new user, no invitation e-mail can be sent. The currently logged-in user will be informed.

It is recommended to deactivate users instead of deleting them. Their user names might be required for compliance reasons.

New users are created with the Keycloak settings shown in the screenshot below (click to enlarge). The first actions newly created users have to carry out are specified under Required User Actions. In this configuration, these are Update Password and Update Profile. Hence, new users have to register by setting a password and other user data. The URL to the registration page is specified in the e-mail invitation.

yuuvis® Momentum client as reference implementation displays the user's name in the following format: lastName, firstName (username).
