User Registration APIs

Overview

This page contains the APIs that are used to manage User Registrations. A registration is the association between a User and an Application that they log into. Here are the APIs:

Create a User Registration (for an existing user)

This API is used to create a new User Registration for an existing User. If the User has already created their global account but is now creating an account for an Application, this is the API you will use to create the new account. You must specify the User Id being registered on the URI. The Id of the Application the User is registering for is sent in the request body.

Request

Create a User Registration for an existing User

URI

POST/api/user/registration/{userId}

Request Parameters

userId[UUID]required

The Id of the User that is registering for the Application.

Request Headers

X-FusionAuth-TenantId[String]optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Body

generateAuthenticationToken[Boolean]optionalDefaults to false

Determines if FusionAuth should generate an Authentication Token for this registration.

registration.applicationId[UUID]required

The Id of the Application that this registration is for.

Beginning in version 1.25.0 this value, while still required may be provided on the request as a URL segment. If the applicationId is provided on the URL, it will take precedence over the value found in the request body.

registration.authenticationToken[String]optional

The authentication token that may be used in place of the User’s password when authenticating against this application represented by this registration. This parameter is ignored if generateAuthenticationToken is set to true and instead the value will be generated.

registration.data[Object]optional

An object that can hold any information about the User for this registration that should be persisted. Please review the limits on data field types as you plan for and build your custom data schema.

registration.preferredLanguages[Array<String>]optional

An array of locale strings that give, in order, the User’s preferred languages for this registration. These are important for email templates and other localizable text. See Locales.

The maximum number of allowed preferred languages is 20.

registration.id[UUID]optionalDefaults to secure random UUID

The Id of this registration. If not specified a secure random UUID will be generated.

registration.roles[Array<String>]optional

The list of roles that the User has for this Application.

registration.timezone[String]optional

The User’s preferred timezone for this Application registration. The string must be in an IANA time zone format.

registration.username[String]optional

The username of the User for this Application. This username cannot be used to login. It is for display purposes only. The user.username field may be used to login.

skipRegistrationVerification[Boolean]optionalDefaults to false

Indicates to FusionAuth that it should skip registration verification even if it is enabled for the Application.

Setting this to true will set registration.verified to true as well.

The Id of the Application that this registration is for.

registration.authenticationToken[String]

The authentication token that may be used in place of the User’s password when authenticating against this application represented by this registration.

registration.cleanSpeakId[UUID]

This Id is used by FusionAuth when the User’s username for this registration is sent to CleanSpeak to be moderated (filtered and potentially sent to the approval queue). It is the content Id of the username inside CleanSpeak.

registration.data[Object]

An object that can hold any information about the User for this registration that should be persisted.

registration.id[UUID]

The Id of this registration.

For an OpenID Connect Identity provider, or other generic providers, if a token is stored it will be keyed by the Identity Provider unique Id.

Removed in 1.28.0

The token returned and stored from the Identity Provider is now stored in the IdP link and is retrievable using the Identity Provider Link API.

registration.username[String]

The username of the User for this Application only.

registration.usernameStatus[String]

The current status of the username. This is used if you are moderating usernames via CleanSpeak. The possible values are:

Create a User and Registration (combined)

This API is used to create a new User and a User Registration in a single request. This is useful if for example you have a main website that User’s create their account on initially. The User is technically creating their global User object and a User Registration for that website (i.e. that Application). In this case, you will want to create the User and the User Registration in a single step. This is the API to use for that. You can optionally still provide an Id for the new User on the URI. If you don’t specify an Id for the User, FusionAuth will create one for you.

Request

Create a User and a User Registration in a single API call

URI

POST/api/user/registration/{userId}

Request Parameters

userId[UUID]optional

The Id to use for the new User. If you don’t specify this, FusionAuth will generate a random UUID.

Request Headers

X-FusionAuth-TenantId[String]optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

When only a single tenant is configured the tenant Id can be assumed and this additional header is optional. Once more than one tenant has been configured in FusionAuth the tenant Id is required for this request. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

This request requires that you specify both the User object and the User Registration object in the request body. The fields for each are listed below.

Request Body

disableDomainBlock[Boolean]optionalDefaults to falseavailable since 1.30.0

A tenant has the option to configure one or more email domains to be blocked in order to restrict email domains during user create or update.

Setting this property equal to true will override the tenant configuration. See tenant.registrationConfiguration.blockedDomains in the Tenant API.

generateAuthenticationToken[Boolean]optionalDefaults to false

Determines if FusionAuth should generate an Authentication Token for this registration.

registration.applicationId[UUID]required

The Id of the Application that this registration is for.

registration.authenticationToken[String]optional

registration.data[Object]optional

An object that can hold any information about the User for this registration that should be persisted.

registration.preferredLanguages[Array<String>]optional

An array of locale strings that give, in order, the User’s preferred languages for this registration. These are important for email templates and other localizable text. See Locales.

The maximum number of allowed preferred languages is 20.

registration.id[UUID]optional

The Id of this registration. If this is not specified, FusionAuth will create a random UUID for you.

registration.roles[Array<String>]optional

The list of roles that the User has for this Application.

registration.timezone[String]optional

The User’s preferred timezone for this Application registration. The format is not enforced, however it is recommended to use a timezone in the TZ format such as

America/Denver or US/Mountain

registration.username[String]optional

The username of the User for this Application. This username cannot be used to login. It is for display purposes only. The user.username field may be used to login.

sendSetPasswordEmail[Boolean]optionalDefaults to false

If true, FusionAuth will send the User an email asking them to set their password. The Email Template that is used is the one specified in the setPasswordEmailTemplateId .

When you set this value to true, any provided password field is ignored. FusionAuth will set the initial password to a securely generated random string.

If you have also enabled email verification and do not skip verification with the skipVerification parameter, only the setup password email will be sent to the user. Setting up the password using the email sent during this user create operation will verify the User’s email if it is not already verified.

If the SMTP email configuration is not complete, or disabled, this value is ignored.

skipRegistrationVerification[Boolean]optionalDefaults to false

Indicates to FusionAuth that it should skip registration verification even if it is enabled for the Application.

skipVerification[Boolean]optionalDefaults to false

Whether or not email verification should be skipped or not. In some cases, you might want to verify User’s emails and in other cases you won’t. This flag controls that behavior.

user.birthDate[String]optional

An ISO-8601 formatted date of the User’s birthdate such as YYYY-MM-DD.

user.data[Object]optional

An object that can hold any information about a User that should be persisted.

user.data.email[String]optional

This field will be used as the email address if no user.email field is found. This field may be modified by advanced registration forms or the API. Setting this value to another account’s email address allows that account to, in some cases, access information about this user.

If user richard has a user.data.email with a value of dinesh@fusionauth.io, whoever controls dinesh@fusionauth.io has elevated access to the richard account. That user can now reset the password on the richard account, for example. This functionality may be useful in certain scenarios, such as when accounts must share an email address. Think through the security ramifications before using this feature.

This feature was removed in version 1.26.0 and added back in in 1.27.2.

user.email[String]optional

The User’s email address. An email address is a unique in FusionAuth and stored in lower case.

user.encryptionScheme[String]optional

The method for encrypting the User’s password. The following encryptors are provided with FusionAuth:

salted-md5
salted-sha256
salted-hmac-sha256
salted-pbkdf2-hmac-sha256
salted-pbkdf2-hmac-sha256-512Available since 1.34.0
bcrypt
phpass-md5Available since 1.45.0
phpass-sha512Available since 1.45.0

You can also create your own password encryptor. See the Custom Password Hashing section for more information.

user.expiry[Long]optional

The expiration instant of the User’s account. An expired user is not permitted to login.

user.factor[String]optional

The factor used by the password encryption scheme. If not provided, the PasswordEncryptor provides a default value. Generally this will be used as an iteration count to generate the hash. The actual use of this value is up to the PasswordEncryptor implementation.

user.firstName[String]optional

The first name of the User.

user.fullName[String]optional

The User’s full name as a separate field that is not calculated from firstName and lastName.

user.imageUrl[String]optional

The URL that points to an image file that is the User’s profile image.

user.lastName[String]optional

The User’s last name.

user.middleName[String]optional

The User’s middle name.

user.mobilePhone[String]optional

The User’s mobile phone number. This is useful is you will be sending push notifications or SMS messages to the User.

user.password[String]optional

The User’s plain text password. This password will be hashed and the provided value will never be stored and cannot be retrieved.

This field is optional only if sendSetPasswordEmail is set to true. By default sendSetPasswordEmail is false, and then this field will be required.

user.passwordChangeRequired[Boolean]optionalDefaults to false

Indicates that the User’s password needs to be changed during their next login attempt.

user.preferredLanguages[Array<String>]optional

An array of locale strings that give, in order, the User’s preferred languages. These are important for email templates and other localizable text. See Locales.

user.twoFactor.methods[x].authenticator.codeLength[Integer]optional

The length of code generated by the TOTP. With the current implementation, this must be 6 if provided. Any other value will be ignored.

user.twoFactor.methods[x].authenticator.timeStep[Integer]optional

The time-step size in seconds. With the current implementation, this must be 30 if provided. Any other value will be ignored.

user.twoFactor.methods[x].email[String]optional

The value of the email address for this method. Only present if user.twoFactor.methods[x].method is email.

user.twoFactor.methods[x].secret[String]optional

A base64 encoded secret

This field is required when method is authenticator.

users.twoFactorDelivery[String]optionalDefaults to NoneDEPRECATED

The User’s preferred delivery for verification codes during a two factor login request.

The possible values are:

None
TextMessage

When using TextMessage the User will also need a valid mobilePhone.

Removed in version 1.26.0

user.twoFactorEnabled[Boolean]optionalDefaults to falseDEPRECATED

Determines if the User has two factor authentication enabled for their account or not.

See the Enable Two Factor and Disable Two Factor APIs as an alternative to performing this action using the User API.

Removed in version 1.26.0

user.twoFactorSecret[String]optionalDEPRECATED

The Base64 encoded secret used to generate Two Factor verification codes.

You may optionally use value provided in the secret field returned by the Two Factor Secret API instead of generating this value yourself.

Unless you are using TextMessage as your delivery type, ensure you are able to share the secret with the User before enabling Two Factor authentication. Beginning in version 1.17.0, if you do create a User with TextMessage set as the twoFactorDelivery type and you omit this value, the secret will be generated for you. The secret can be generated because it is not necessary to share the secret with the User for this delivery method.

When using None as the twoFactorDelivery this value will be required.

Removed in version 1.26.0

user.username[String]optional

The username of the User.

Update a User Registration

This API is used to update an existing User Registration.

You must specify the Id of the User Registration you are updating on the URI. You must specify the User Id and the Application Id on the URI to identify the registration that is being updated.

You must specify all of the properties of the User Registration when calling this API with the PUT HTTP method. When used with PUT, this API doesn’t merge the existing User Registration and your new data. It replaces the existing User Registration with your new data.

Utilize the PATCH HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing User Registration.

Request

Update a User Registration

URI

PUT/api/user/registration/{userId}/{applicationId}

URI

PATCH/api/user/registration/{userId}/{applicationId}

Available since 1.39.0

When using the PATCH method, you can either use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request for backward compatibility. Or you may use either JSON Patch/RFC 6902] or JSON Merge Patch/RFC 7396. See the PATCH documentation for more information.

Available since 1.12.0

When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A null value can be used to remove a value. Patching an Array will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.

Request Parameters

applicationId[UUID]requiredavailable since 1.25.0

The Id of the Application for which the User is registered.

While required, this parameter may be provided in the request body as well. If the applicationId is provided in both the URL and the request body, the value on the URL will take precedence. Prior to version 1.25.0 this value must be provided in the request body.
