bulk add users

There is possible to use Admin API to create users accounts. Please have a look at this man page for more details: https://man.liquidfiles.com/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#create_user

There are many ways how to implement that in various scripting languages. Basically you will need to read email addresses and names of that users from a list and pass that in a loop to the API.
A basic example how to create external user accounts with a validation send via email in Linux shell script "createusers.sh" can look like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

server="https://lf.domain.com"
api_key="ReplaceWithSomeSysAdminAPIkey"

#CSV file where you have list of users, in format:
#first lastname,user@dom.com
sourcefile="/tmp/userslist.csv"

#read users from the csv list
while read usr; do
usrmail=$(echo $usr | awk -F"," '{ print $2 }' )
usrname=$(echo $usr | awk -F"," '{ print $1 }')

echo " Creating user: $usrmail"
#feeding the API
cat <<EOF | curl -s -X POST --user "$api_key:x" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @- $server/admin/users -k
      {"user":
        {
         "email": "$usrmail",
         "name": "$usrname",
         "group": "external-users",
         "send_password_request": "true",
         "ldap_authentication": "false"
       }
     }
EOF

done < $sourcefile

The format of the "userslist.csv" file looks like this:

Code:

Bob Smith,bob@domain.com,
Jane,jane@domain.com,
Joe Dow,joe@domain.com,
