API Create user external_ids parameter

I am testing creating users via API and I would like to pass the external user ID along but I cannot figure out how to use the external_ids parameter (I suppose that’s what it’s for). No matter what I put in there I get this error: “You supplied invalid parameters to the request: external_ids”.
This would be used in conjunction with DiscourseConnect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I think the way to do this is to post to the sync_sso route as described in Sync DiscourseConnect user data with the sync_sso route .

I need to migrate users from another platform and will be investigating that method for creating new users based on their external id. Will circle back here with any useful updates.

Best,
ABK
