docusign.users.post-users

Adds new users to an account. The body of this request is an array of newUsers objects. For each new user, you must provide at least the userName and email properties. The maximum number of users you can create in one request is 500 users. The userSettings property specifies the actions users can perform. In the example below, Tal Mason will be able to send envelopes, and the activation email will be in French because the locale is set to fr.
