How to create a local user using Nutanix API v3?

Hi

 

I’m testing the Nutanix API v3 on a AOS 7.5 cluster through the prism central API. I came across the `https://ip_address:9440/api/nutanix/v3/users` endpoint that allows us to create a new user. However, I can’t see to find a way to create a user that’s not tied to any identity provider (local user). 

 

Is there even such a thing? Or is it not supported through the API? Because I can’t see an attribute for that in the payload from the official documentation. I couldn’t find an endpoint for this functionality on other API versions, that’s why I’m using v3.

 

Any help is much appreciated.
