Is it possible to create users via the API with disable local login and SSO enabled? I’m getting error 500 in response to my API REST calls. other functions work fine.

When SSO is enabled you can create users through the API with the sync_sso route. See Sync DiscourseConnect user data with the sync_sso route for details about how to do it.

No, SSO disables user creation. Why do you want to create the users? With SSO, they will be created automatically when they try to log in.

I’m migrating a bunch of users who currently use yahoo email groups to message. I’ve lists of their email addresses and want to add them to a set of Discourse groups. Obviously, I can’t till they log in. So far I’ve had people complaining that they can’t see their private category when they regist…

These should be staged users, as that’s the purpose of staging a user – participation in prior emails that may or may not turn into a web login.

Creating staged users using the API is now possible :deciduous_tree: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/5bfc9cf69ede127460bc14d1c7f109841d4e8dee https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api/commit/8cfff42d2853c54b7140b2a1fab211ef9cbcbf3b

Thank you! So I would call create user with name, email, password, username, active = false, staged = true?

Right, this is working on a development site that does not have SSO switched on, but fails as soon as it is. Should I be trying to do this a different way? Via a plugin, maybe?
