Create user account
The Create user account action node creates a new user in the solution or can optionally update an existing user. Roles can be assigned to determine the user's permissions. A welcome email can be automatically triggered, enabling the user to login immediately.
Usage
This action node is used when you would like client users to be able to give other people access to the apps in a solution. For example, a client user with a custom Administrator role may be granted the permission to add users with a Coordinator role.
Users in a solution must have unique email addresses. The default behavior of Create user account is to throw an error (UserAccountAlreadyExistException: Appfarm error code 14007) when run with an email that is already assigned to user in the solution. To allow existing users, and optionally update their User object, select the Accept Existing User checkbox.
When the action node successfully completes, the User object is immediately created in the database. It is not necessary to persist any changes.
Important
The user running this action node must have a role with the appropriate permissions to create a new user and assign any selected role. Read more under Users.
The appropriate user account manipulation properties must be enabled for the relevant environment.
