How do I add users?
Can you share some info - add new users where? To the community, or to the group, or something else? And why you want to add user?
If to the community, it isnt possible and generally speaking it is bad idea because user profile is personal and for example password should be known only by the user. Usually registration should be confirmed using email and that can be done only by the user (who have access to the email).
Yes, the question refers to community. New members can change their password once they join, shouldn’t be a security concern from this perspective. But if it isn’t possible, that would be why I couldn’t find docs on this! Thank you for rapid response!

….to automate the creation of users for new starters, etc. What I did, when I set up our community, was to “hack” our HR system to get all of our staff email addresses, names, etc and used this API to automate the creation of users for them. I tied this into an email process which sent each user their account details. I also used one of the other APIs to add roles (business area in this case). With regard to the password, I simply set a random value for each of them and got them to use the “Forgot password” link when they signed in.
It was a quick way of getting a load of users assigned, but as I said, it was only done for staff and to make sure that their screen names were all set to be the same as their email names.
Much appreciation!
