When populating a new system with users from an existing list, such as an excel spreadsheet or CSV file, there are two different techniques:
The API call MOD009 Create User will create a user account that is ready to use. This is usually used when all of the information about a user is already known, including the password. It assumes that the user has somehow already given consent for having an account created (e.g. based on an existing contract or based on a third-party user interface shown before invoking this command)
Roles can be assigned to user immediately after creation.https://ubisecuredev.atlassian.net/wiki/display/IDS82/REST+API+1.0+-+CustomerID#RESTAPI1.0-CustomerID-MOD009CreateUser
See MOD009 Create User API call.
The second method is the API call MOD026 Create Pending User. This call will create a user account that is not yet activated. The Ubisecure CustomerID system will send an email invitation to the user, inviting them to follow a link to activate the account. During activation, the user will have a chance to interactively approve any terms and conditions, set a password, change or modify any permitted attributes and enable strong authentication methods, such as SMS OTP and Print out OTP.
Roles cannot be assigned to a pending user before it the invitation has been accepted.

A call to either command will be required for each new user to be added.
