Overview

This node operation creates a new user in the HumHub platform. It supports setting user account details such as username, email, status, and content container ID, along with user profile information either as a JSON object or through a UI collection of profile fields. The password for the new user is also required. This operation is useful for automating user management tasks, such as onboarding new users with predefined profiles and credentials in HumHub.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically create new users in HumHub when a new employee joins a company, setting their profile details and password.
  2. Batch create users from a CSV file by mapping CSV columns to the node's input properties.
  3. Create users with complex profile data by passing JSON-formatted profile information.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the profile JSON is valid if using the JSON profile parameter; invalid JSON will cause an error.
  • Required fields such as username, email, and password must be provided; missing these will cause the operation to fail.
  • Authentication credentials must be correctly configured for either Basic Auth or JWT Token; incorrect credentials will result in authentication errors.
