Hi @kitchenprinzessin,

This is not possible at this time, but I would like to learn more about your use case. Are you looking to create a large number of users in bulk, or do you have another intention?

Hi Grant
I want to create a large number of user accounts programmatically with predefined role and, after that, email them the credentials and invite link (so that they can log in via SSO and use the credentials provided to link their account with SSO id). We will include the instruction in the email to update the password when they login first time into the system.

Hi @kitchenprinzessin,

Could you please send a message to the NRCA Specify team regarding this topic? Our team has agreed to first reach out to them before formalizing a feature request from CSIRO. Thank you!

@Grant The issue was intended to verify whether the API supports programmatic user creation. Since this feature is not yet supported, I will proceed with submitting the request to NRCA as suggested. Thank you.
