# users.create

> Adds a new member to the team. If the email does not yet have a Manus account, a personal account is created automatically. `role` accepts `admin`, `member`, or `super_admin`.

<sup>Questions or issues? Contact us at [api-support@manus.ai](mailto:api-support@manus.ai).</sup>

<Tip>
  **Auth:** Bearer access token from [oauth.token](/enterprise/v1/oauth.token).

  **Auto-provisioning:** If the email does not yet have a Manus account, a personal account is created automatically (deactivated outside the team). The team membership is then attached to that account.

  **Role:** Required. Accepts `super_admin`, `admin`, `member`, or `free_tier_member`. `owner` is read-only and rejected. `free_tier_member` is a non-paying role that does not consume a Stripe seat.

  **Display name:** If `firstName` and/or `lastName` are provided, the team display name is `firstName lastName`. Otherwise `userName` is used as-is.

  **Idempotency:** Not idempotent — calling twice with the same email returns `409 USER_ALREADY_EXISTS`. Look up first via [users.detail](/enterprise/v1/users.detail) if you may be retrying.

  title: Manus Team User Management OpenAPI v1
  description: >-
    API for enterprise tenant administrators to manage team members
    programmatically (SailPoint, Okta, custom IDP integrations). Two surfaces:
    (1) credential management RPCs at `/team.v1.TeamManagementService/*` use a
    session token; (2) REST endpoints under `/api/user/manage/v1/*` use an OAuth
    2.0 Client Credentials access token issued by the credentials. v2 of this
    API ([User Management v2](/enterprise/v2/user-management-overview))
    consolidates everything behind `X-API-Key` — prefer it for new integrations.
