Unable to create user through rest api

[Vikram Singh Rathor]

curl --request POST \ --url 'https://Domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/user' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --user 'emailID:API_token' \ --data '{ "name": "charlie", "password": "abracadabra", "emailAddress": "email_ID_For_new_user", "displayName": "charlie", }'

I am trying to create a user through Rest API, but getting errors
error 01:

"errorMessages": [

        "You must specify the products that user can access."

    ],

also tried ref link but still getting error:
ref link:

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.6.1/#api/2/user-createUser

any solution?

Hi @Vikram Singh Rathor

It is strongly recommended to refer to the following document for the user creation Atlassian Guard/Access:

• https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-users/#api-rest-api-2-user-post
• https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloudkb/create-users-in-atlassian-cloud-using-postman-and-rest-apis-1318891779.html

The REST API document you refer to is for Jira DC 7.6.1 and NOT applicable for Jira Cloud.

Thank you.
