Create a user
This endpoint is only available to organization administrators.
POST https://chat.trabajo.gba.gob.ar/api/v1/users
Create a new user account via the API.
Note: This endpoint is limited to organization administrators
who additionally have the can_create_users permission for the Zulip
organization. Zulip Cloud users can request the can_create_users
permission for a bot by contacting Zulip Cloud support
with an explanation for why it is needed. Self-hosted installations
can toggle can_create_users on an account using the manage.py
change_user_role command.
Changes: Before Zulip 4.0 (feature level 36), this endpoint was
available to all organization administrators.
Usage examples
