Great to hear your Ory stack is up and running! To create users (identities) in Ory Kratos, you typically interact with the Admin API. Here’s how you can do it: ### 1. Create a New Identity via Admin API You can create a user by sending a POST request to the

/admin/identities

endpoint. Here’s a sample

curl

command:

bash curl --request POST -sL \   --header "Content-Type: application/json" \   --data '{     "schema_id": "default",     "traits": {       "email": "<mailto:user@example.com|user@example.com>"     }   }' <http://127.0.0.1:4434/admin/identities>

- Replace

"default"

with your schema ID if you use a custom schema. - Adjust the

traits

object to match your identity schema (e.g., add

name

, etc.). This will create a new identity in Kratos. The response will include the identity’s ID and other details. Note that this only creates the identity; it does not set a password or credentials yet [Create identities](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/create-users-identities). ### 2. Set Credentials (Password) To allow the user to set their password, you can either: - Use the self-service registration flow (recommended for end-users). - Or, for invited users, trigger an account recovery flow so they can set their password via a secure link [Invite users](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/invite-users). #### Example: Invite User Flow 1. Create the identity (as above). 2. Trigger account recovery to generate a recovery link:

bash curl --request POST -sL \   --header "Content-Type: application/json" \   --data '{     "identity_id": "<IDENTITY_ID>",     "expires_in": "12h"   }' <http://127.0.0.1:4434/admin/recovery/link>

- Replace

<IDENTITY_ID>

with the ID from the previous step. 3. Send the recovery link to the user, so they can set their password and activate their account. --- Summary: - Use the Admin API to create identities. - Use the self-service registration or recovery flow to set credentials. Let me know if you need code samples for a specific language or more details on the registration flow!
