Create user

Seed example (keychains curl)

I looked up the official n8n REST API docs to verify a POST /users endpoint. As of now (Feb 18, 2026), the public API reference focuses on resources like workflows and credentials and shows how to authenticate with an API key (X-N8N-API-KEY) and to call endpoints under /api/v<version-number> (e.g., /workflows). There isn’t a publicly documented POST /users endpoint in the standard REST API reference. For user management, n8n describes UI-based invitations and Cloud/self-hosted differences, not a public API for creating users. ([docs.n8n.io](https://docs.n8n.io/api/authentication/))

If you still want to proceed, I can draft a hypothetical template only after you confirm the exact endpoint exists on your instance (Cloud vs self-hosted) and provide the real base URL. Here are the key questions I’d need clarified to tailor an exact curl command:
- Are you using n8n Cloud or a self-hosted instance?
- What is your base URL (e.g., https://<your-cloud-instance>/api/v1 or https://<N8N_HOST>:<PORT>/<PATH>/api/v1)?
- What is the exact request body schema for creating a user on your installation (email, name, role, etc.)? 
- Which auth method do you want to use in this call (X-N8N-API-KEY header, or another header)?

If you’d like, I can also provide a concrete curl template for a known, documented endpoint (for example, creating or listing workflows) so you can see the exact command shape and how to wire in Keychains variables. For that, just tell me which documented endpoint you want to start with (e.g., GET /workflows, POST /credentials, etc.).
