Create User
POST {{baseUrl}}/rest/api/3/user
Creates a user. This resource is retained for legacy compatibility. As soon as a more suitable alternative is available this resource will be deprecated.
The option is provided to set or generate a password for the user. When using the option to generate a password, by omitting password from the request, include "notification": "true" to ensure the user is sent an email advising them that their account is created. This email includes a link for the user to set their password. If the notification isn't sent for a generated password, the user will need to be sent a reset password request from Jira.
If the user exists and has access to Jira, the operation returns a 201 status. If the user exists but does not have access to Jira, the operation returns a 400 status.
Permissions required: Administer Jira global permission.
