Add a person

POST
/v1/identity/users
curl --request POST \
--url https://example.com/v1/identity/users \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "displayName": "example", "primaryEmail": "example" }'

Adds a person to the tenant as a tenant member, written before it answers: they can read the tenant’s settings (providers, policies, adapters, signing keys, deployments), not its projects. Give them a role to work (project or team membership, or tenant admin), then mint their first API key at POST /v1/tokens with for. Tenant admins only. Mounted when the identity directory can add people.

Idempotency-Key
string
>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the tenant is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered 409 idempotency-key-in-flight with Retry-After, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets 409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5).
