groupIds Array[string] Required IDs of the groups that you want to add the user to.
seriesEntities Array[SeriesEntity] Optional Series and modules that you want to assign to the user.
seriesEntities[].seriesId string Required within each entry ID of the series. Required when an entry is included in seriesEntities.

source string Read-only The system mechanism used to provision the user. Possible values include _default (REST API), okta (Okta SCIM), and AzureAD (Azure AD SCIM).

  • Profile updates: This operation uses the user create/update endpoint. Updating profile fields for a deactivated learner reactivates the learner. See Update a user.

  • Async processing: The request is queued, and the response returns process IDs you use to check the result.

  • Limits: Mindtickle recommends adding users to a maximum of 50 groups at once.

  • Validation: Send each group ID as a separate string in the groupIds JSON array.

  • Email value: On UID-enabled instances, passing "None" as the email value removes the user’s primary email. On UID-disabled instances, passing "None" returns a validation error. This value is case-insensitive.

  • Managers: A blank or missing username in a manager entry when UID is enabled returns an HTTP 400 error. An invalid email in a manager entry when UID is disabled returns an HTTP 400 error. To clear a manager assignment, set the identifier value to NONE in uppercase. See the Notes on Update a user for an example.

  • Read-only fields: source is read-only. Values passed for it in the request payload are silently ignored.
