# Create a user in the account

Launch stage: Beta

`POST /api/2.0/identity/accounts/{account_id}/users`

Creates a local user in the Databricks account and returns the created user. A local user is
 one that is not synced from the customer's identity provider, and can be created whether or not
 Account Identity Management (AIM) is enabled.

 When AIM is enabled, supplying an external ID returns an error. To provision the identity from
 your identity provider, resolve it by its external ID with ResolveUser; to read an existing
 external identity, use the ExternalUser resource.
