Hello Peter
Following on from Nicola's suggestion: a while ago I had a go at writing
some command line tools using Bioblend to try and do some of my Galaxy
admin tasks via the API, including creating new user accounts so I'd
also recommend this route as much much easier than attempting to
interact with the API directly.
The tools I wrote are here if you'd like to look at some an example of
using Bioblend for this, to get you started:
https://github.com/pjbriggs/nebulizer/blob/master/nebulizer/users.py
As long as the user that the API key belongs to is an admin user (or if
you're using a master API key) this works fine.
HTH
Best wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,
why not use BioBlend?

Thanks Hans-Rudolf,
Yes - you are right. The wiki does link there but it wasn't obvious to me.
Reading the UserAPIController link source code suggests as long as
I am authenticated as a Galaxy Admin, I could use this to create new
user accounts:
https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/_modules/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/api/users.html#UserAPIController.create
Thank looks very promising...

Hi Peter
I guess it is here:

Hi Martin,
I'd like to look into creating new users via the API (where we can
control the email address and username format for integration with our
cluster), and have the web-interface forbid users from self-registration.
The read-the-docs site you mentioned in this old email (below) doesn't
exist anymore, and the API wiki page doesn't seem to link to something
similar:
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/API
Where is the official API documentation now?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
you specify username, password and email in the body (payload) of
the POST as Key:Value pairs.
Code from the API method: (
https://galaxy-central.readthedocs.org/en/latest/_modules/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/api/users.html#UserAPIController.create
<https://galaxy-central.readthedocs.org/en/latest/_modules/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/api/users.html#UserAPIController.create>
)
username=payload['username']email=payload['email']password=payload['password']
There are also other conditions that need to be fulfilled (e.g. user
creation has to be turned on in the configuration) - you will find
these when you look at the source code of the method (because the
documentation is not perfect yet, sorry).
