Try changing your dataType from "json" to "application/json".

I notice that when I do:
curl -X POST -uadmin:admin http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people -H"content-type: json" -d@/Users/jpotts/Desktop/tmp.json

I get the same thing you get, but when I do:
curl -X POST -uadmin:admin http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people -H"content-type: application/json" -d@/Users/jpotts/Desktop/tmp.json

The user is created successfully.

(BTW, tmp.json includes your exact JSON).

THANK YOU JEFF!
That did it!

In case anyone else runs into this isse,
there's a thing called a setting called contentType that needs to be set also,
form the jquery .ajax call.

not sure what you mean about the tmp.json ?



$.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: url,
            data: JSON.stringify(userInfo) ,
            dataType: 'json',
       contentType: 'application/json',
            success: function (response) {
   
            },
            error: function (response) {
            }
        });

So glad that worked!

Regarding tmp.json I was just saying that the JSON I am posting (tmp.json) in my example is a copy-and-paste of the JSON you included in your example.
