Create User¶

Create a user.

Prerequisites¶

Credentials as described in Authentication

C#¶

To create user, first instantiate UserUpsert and set UserName and other basic properties such as FirstName and LastName.

If you are creating a tenant administrator, then you need to set TenantAdmin to true.

Next, get the instance of CrayonApiClient and then get the client token using the instance. This client token will be passed when creating the user

Finally, call Users.Create() method to create user by passing the token and the instance of UserUpsert.

var user = new UserUpsert
{
        UserName = "myuser@company.com",
        FirstName = "Firstname",
        LastName = "LastName",
        TenantAdmin = true // set true if you are creating a tenant administrator, otherwise not necessary to set
};

var client = new CrayonApiClient("http://v1.api.crayon.as/");
var token = client.Tokens.GetUserToken(clientId, clientSecret, userName, password).GetData().AccessToken;
var createUserResponse = client.Users.Create(token, user);

if (createUserResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    // To set the password
    var userId = createUserResponse.GetData().Id;
    client.Users.ChangePassword(token, userId, "newpassword");
}

Error Codes	Description
200 Ok	The request has succeeded.
400 Bad Request	The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax, missing required properties, properties that couldn’t be parsed according to their type (and length). It is a non-retryable error condition. The client should not repeat the request without modifications.
