Create Users

Note

Beginning in v18.1, Admins create and manage users with user__sys object records. Unless you are adding cross-domain or VeevaID users or adding users to a domain without assigning Vault membership, we strongly recommend using the Create Object Records endpoint to create new users.

Create new user accounts or add existing users as cross-domain users. Learn more about cross-domain users in Vault Help. Note that users only receive welcome emails if they are assigned to a Vault. For example, a new domain user who does not have any assigned Vaults will not receive a welcome email.

Suppressing Welcome Emails: When creating new users, you can prevent Vault from sending welcome emails to a user by setting the user_needs_to_change_password__v setting to false. This does not work for users with SSO security profiles, but you can work around this limitation by creating the users with a basic security profile and updating them to the SSO security profile with an update action.
