Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba ClearPass API to create a local user within the Identities domain. It is useful for automating user management tasks such as adding new local users with specific credentials and roles in Aruba ClearPass environments. For example, it can be used in workflows that onboard new employees by creating their local user accounts with defined usernames, passwords, roles, and additional attributes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a new local user with a username, password, and role in the Identities domain.
  2. Automating user account creation with additional settings like enabling the account or requiring a password change on next login.
