Create One User

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Create a new user. By default, any non-global organization and project roles in the payload send users an invitation to the organization or project first.
