Posting new users in Bulk

I'm currently trying to write a console app that will do all my user administration stuff automatically, but am having a hard time making a post to the bulk ad end point that includes a groups.

For instance: 

[
 {
  "userName": "aadgreatest",
  "groups": ["5ca61817c9e7612bb833d620"],
  "ldapDomainId": "5bnotab629d4af14fblahblaha"
 }
]

Gets me a user in that domain and sets him up as a viewer, but doesn't add him to that group which should be the "Cat Owners" group. Is this not how it works or should I be using something else?

  Hi Delsaran,

  This is currently a limitation.  

  Possible workarounds:
  You can either: use POST api/v1/users
  and specifiy "activeDirectory": true,
  
  like this:

  {
    "email": "Ramatgan.user0094@ramatgan.int",
    "groups": [
      "5d4bfbe5bd3ef11b68180cef"
    ],
  "activeDirectory": true,
      "hash": null
  
  }

  Or you can create the users using the regular /user/ad/bulk, and then go over the ID's you are getting and make a second call to PATCH  users/{id} with the groups.
  Both options tested and worked.

  Hope this helps.

  Best,

  Noam

  Hi Delsaran - could you specify which API endpoint you are using, and in case the payload above isn't the full payload - attach that as well?

  I'm using the /api/v1/users/ad/bulk endpoint, and yes that's the full payload or the desired payload. 

  [
   {
    "userName": "aadgreatest",
    "ldapDomainId": "5bnotab629d4af14fblahblaha"
   }
  ]

  ^^^ Works

  [
   {
    "userName": "aadgreatest",
    "groups": ["5ca61817c9e7612bb833d620"],
    "ldapDomainId": "5bnotab629d4af14fblahblaha"
   }
  ]

  ^^^ Doesn't work, even thought there is a key for it

  This is the suggested/example that is on the api page in Sisense

  [
    {
      "userName": "string",
      "roleId": "string",
      "groups": [
        "string"
      ],
      "objectSid": "string",
      "preferences": {
        "localeId": "Unknown Type: string,null"
      },
      "uiSettings": {}
    }
  ]

  Thanks Delsaran, that's helpful. I noticed that the groups property does work for regular (non-AD) bulk user insert, so I suspect this is might be an issue for Sisense Support to investigate. I'll open a support ticket for you, hope that's OK.

  If you end up finding a solution of some sort (maybe a missing field or a mistake in field names in the documentation) please feel free to post it here for others to benefit from!

  That would be great if you'd do that for me. 

  Being able to set the group as I add the users would help count down on the code I have to write, if not i'd have to add the users and make another function to update the users. I'd rather do it all in one go. Will I be CC on this ticket?
