    Hi @MikeMuendtrath ,

     

    I assume you are talking about external users of the portal?  These are actually created as Contacts in the Dataverse.  You can create the Contact with the web api like the following:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/webapi/create-entity-web-api

     

    This article should help you to set the username / password:  https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/thinkdynamicdodynamic/posts/powerapps-portals---send-auto-generated-username-password-to-invited-portal-users

     

    Hope this helps.


    Thanks,


    Drew
