Hi,

I’m trying to use the REST api, and have had success with the get users endpoint.

I’m having trouble getting the create user call to work properly. I’m receiving the response below. Is anybody able to to help me work out why this isnt working?

I’m able to create users through the web UI, in case that is relevent.
