When creating a user through the management API I could have sworn I've seen the error "USER_ALREADY_EXISTS", I even have the check in my code. However I can't seem to recreate this error response in any way when i create users with existing information. I've tried a simple create user with given name, family name and email, the exact same request done twice doesn't result in already exist, but just a generic ERROR_CREATING_IDENTITY USER_NOT_CREATED. How am I supposed to best know if creating a user fails due to the user already existing? Do I have to use get GET /users endpoint and filter by email? Feels heavy-handed
Hi there, sounds like this should be returning the original error you referenced, we'll look into this for you
Could you provide a sample request you're making please, there might be an issue with your payload or a scenario we're not catching.
Testing the following in postman:
{
"profile": {
"given_name": "Simple",
"family_name": "Test"
},
"identities": [
{
"type": "email",
"details": {
"email": "simple@test.com"
}
}
]
}{
"errors": [
{
"code": "USER_ALREADY_EXISTS",
"message": "An existing user was found against the identity data provided."
}
]
}This is curious. With your input I do get the user exist error. I'll send you the exact input I use in PM in case it matters
