Right now on my discourse set up, I have it set up to invite only, admin must approve users, and allow new registrations. The issue I am having though is when I create a user via my API I still have to log in and approve the user on the forum. So I was wondering if I had to uncheck any of those th…

With this fix, you can now create an active user with a single api request and they won’t receive an email confirmation. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/fec68d3d25bfc80d084af52e17882ad886fd5cd0

Once you create the user through the API, you will need to make another api request to this endpoint to approve them: http://localhost:3000/admin/users/<user_id>/approve Are you using the discourse_api gem to talk to the API or some other way?

Sorry to necro this post but it appears to be the most relevant discussion. I’m currently adding users via the API but they aren’t getting the verification email. Is there something I can add to the response to ensure that this email gets triggered? I’ve seen people setting active to true but that…

Hi, I think I’m having similar trouble using the pydiscourse module. If I create a user with active=true I get the following response: {'success': True, 'active': True, 'message': 'Your account is activated and ready to use.', 'user_id': 212} And all seems well on the dashboard: [19%20PM] H…
