API Add User with POST URL

Amagaad — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 12:28:13 GMT

Hello

Our users sign in via enterprise.

I am trying to make use of the post api to add a user

https://(site)/portal/sharing/rest/community/users/(username)/add

I have tried various formats for the (username). joeblogs@domain, domain\joebloggs.

However every time I get the response 'User does not exist or is inaccessible'.

If I call the api to get the userinfo with joebloggs@domain it works fine e.g.

https://(site)/portal/sharing/rest/community/users/jobloggs@domain

Can anyone help advise? Is the post api add url incorrect?

Many thanks

Hi @Amagaad ,

Are you trying to create a user in Enterprise? If so, use the createUser command instead.

Hi @Amagaad,

I guess you found the solution in the meantime but I am sharing my experience for others facing the same issue. I faced it running a migration script of my users from SAML provider to OIDC one. Script was coded using Python API for ArcGIS and adding a 5-second sleep between processing each user solved this issue.

time.sleep(5)

I guess as the error message is a bit misleading !
