Add person web script

[speedster]

Hi,

I am trying to add a User using web script : POST /alfresco/service/api/people , filling all the man-
datory fields.But the user is not getting created.It just returns logged in user details.No exceptions
or error logs as well

Any idea whats wrong

I ended up creating my own webscipt with java controller class.

I used a web app called Firefox Poster which allows me to construct POST GET requests. 

You can find Poster here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2691/

Start up Poster and enter the following
URL -> http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people

In the Content to Send Section
Content Type ->  application/json

In the Content Box enter your user info in JSON format below. (everything below including the curly brackets)

{   
   "userName" : "myNewUser",
   "firstName" : "John",
   "lastName" : "Doe",
   "organisation" : "Example Company Inc",
   "email" : "Johndoe@example.com"
}

Good Luck!

   "userName": "fzied2222",
   "enabled": true,
