I want to inquire what are the minimum privileges that are required to create a user through API.
I want to enquire what are the minimum privileges that are required to create a user through API.Normally we use System Administrator profile to create user and perform other CRUD operations on Users but a lot more previliges are given to the user in this way.
https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?urlname=User-Permission-for-API-Integration-User&language=en_US
If the integration is only meant for user creation/updation then you can restrict the access to other objects in the profile.
I create a connected aap in salesforce with System administrator profile and then do operation such as CRUD operation on Users and Groups, Assign Licences to other users and enable and disable their accountthrough API, So which profile other than system administrator can I use to do these Operations as I do not need to perform any other Operations Other than this i.e which is the user with least previleages that I can use to perform these operations.
If you want to restrict this user from logging into Salesforce directly and wants to provide access only through API then check the option against "Api Only User" in the profile under system permissions.
