Unable to create user through API of Azure DevOps-CodePudding

I'm a newbie with Azure DevOps API, and for a future migration case, I want to create new users on my Azure DevOps organization. The users is Azure Active Directory users.

So I tried to do it with that documentation : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/graph/users/create?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0

The body of my API request look like this:

{
  "principalName": "[email protected]"
}

It return a status 201 (created) with this informations (for security reason i've put '.' on some lines):

{
    "subjectKind": "user",
    "metaType": "member",
    "directoryAlias": "test_user",
    "domain": "....",
    "principalName": "[email protected]",
    "mailAddress": "[email protected]",
    "origin": "aad",
    "originId": "....",
    "displayName": "test user",
    "_links": {
        "self": {
            "href": "....."
        },
        "memberships": {
            "href": "....."
        },
        "membershipState": {
            "href": "...."
        },
        "storageKey": {
            "href": "...."
        },
        "avatar": {
            "href": "...."
        }
    },
    "url": "....",
    "descriptor": "....."
}

But when I look on the organization users, I don't see any users who was created.

Did I miss something ? When I list users thourgh API it don't appear either...

Thanks in advance for your help. P.S: It work well in the graphic UI.

CodePudding user response：

Ok, I've finaly solve my own problem...

The parameter groupDescriptors is mandatory in the HTTP request in order to activate the account.

The command should look like that:

https://vssps.dev.azure.com/{{COMPANY}}/_apis/graph/users?groupDescriptors=vssgp.{{GROUPDESCRIPTORS}}&api-version=6.0-preview.1

If you don't add the user to a group when you do the creation, he will not be able to connect.

Get the group descriptor:

https://vssps.dev.azure.com/{{COMPANY}}/_apis/graph/groups?api-version=5.1-preview.1

Hope this will help someone else in the internet.
