Hi, I thought there used to be a way to manually create identities through the console, but now the "Create identity" button under User Management just takes me to the self service ui. Is that expected?

Yes you can use the UI to create an identity. What would you expect instead? Btw if you want to create a larger number of test identities I would recommend using the API.

AFAIK, there was never a way to create identities through the console UI directly. At least not since I've been working on the Console's code. As Vincent said, you can use the API for it or the built in UIs to register an account (which uses the self-service flows under the hood).

Thanks, I wanted to create a user through the console without enabling public registration, I must have just turned it back on in the past
