  Hello,

  The bug is in the web interface application, not in the API function.

  Here is a recommended way to test and use this API.

  1. According to the documentation "isOwner" should be false when creating a new user.

  

  2. Don't use server web interface for testing this API. Use a python script, for example this one

  https://github.com/networkoptix/nx_open_integrations/blob/master/python/examples/authentication/local_bearer.py

  here is what I modified in the script for creating a new user

  payload = {"name": "test1", "email": "", "type": "local", "isOwner": False, "isEnabled": True, "isHttpDigestEnabled": True, "password": "345sdfg1345awsdf"}
  get_method_header = create_header(primary_token)
  system_info = request_api(LOCAL_URL, f'/rest/v1/users', 'POST', verify=False,
                                headers=get_method_header, json=payload)

  3. Make sure your session (i.e. token) is not older than 10 min.
