Create User

Creates a user in the directory. Note: An attempt to create an existing user will fail with a 409 (Conflict) error. Use this API to manage accounts outside your organization when assigning these users to SCIM groups. If there's already a managed Atlassian account associated with the specified email address on the Atlassian platform, the user in your identity provider will be connected or linked to the user in your Atlassian organization.
