# Add User

`POST /api/v1/users/`

Add a new user to the database.

This endpoint backs two flows that share the same route:

* Public sign up (unauthenticated). Allowed only when public registration is
  enabled for the deployment, i.e. AUTO_LOGIN is off (multi-user mode) and
  ENABLE_SIGNUP is True.
* Admin "add user" (authenticated active superuser). Always allowed,
  regardless of the sign up settings, so disabling public sign up does not
  break superuser-driven user creation.

User activation is controlled by the NEW_USER_IS_ACTIVE setting.
