Hello.

What I am trying to achieve is to add new user tho systemusers entity.

User doesn't exist in AAD.

I am currently trying to add it via Dataverse API as below:

As far as adding new entries to other tables works this way, not sure I am gonna succeed with this approach when it comes to systemusers entity.

Currently got error with usersetting entity despite of I never tried to populate it.

Has anyone been able to add user this way or has any suggestions about this approach or what details in POST body might be required to succeed?

    You can't add system user this way once the user is assigned an appropriate license it gets added automatically to the system users table.

    Hello,

    Just for your understanding, you would not be able to use that user to log in to the system even if you create it successfully.

    I remember I used this insert functionality to migrate the "owner" from a legacy system that was stored for reporting purposes but users were not with the company anymore.

    I shared my experience creating such "systemuser" records in my post - https://butenko.pro/2018/12/14/data-migration-from-ground-to-cloud-my-experience/

    Yeah. I am aware such user wouldn't be really functional.

    This is exactly what I wanted to achieve - just to have like dummy user that I can list in subgrid - nothing else.
    That user itself would be like statistic figure that doesn't perform any action in the system.

     

    I will try to make use of that migration experience.
