Create a user

POST https://{{host}}/identity-management/v3/user-admin/ui-identities

This operation creates a user, or clones an existing user's role assignments, in the account specified in your API client credentials. Optionally, sends a randomly generated one-time use password to the new user. If you send the email with the password directly to the user, the response for this operation doesn't include that password. If you don't send the password to the user through email, the password is included in the response.
