Attask - Create a new user via API

I am integrating a .Net application with Work-front, I am supposed to create a new user in work-front from API. I have tried the steps mentioned in the link and my code https://{mycompany}.attasksandbox.com/attask/api/user?updates={emailAddr:[email protected],firstName:testuser,lastName:API}&[email protected]&password=password&method=post

From my console application I get internal server error 500. From fiddler I get parse error.

https://{mycompany}.attasksandbox.com/attask/api/5.0/user?updates={"emailAddr":"[email protected]","firstName":"testuser","lastName":"sample","roleID":"testrole","password":"pwd123res"}&method=post&sessionID=sdfdsdf1

Above code gives unrecognized URI format: too many parts - exception

Though my requirement is to authorise using API key, I was trying possible ways of achieving it.But I am not able to create in any of the ways.However, I am able to create from UI, which confirms my ID has rights to create user. I did look into API explorer and could see named functions,but whats the approach?Is there any documentation for these complete steps? My search was in-vain. Please suggest as I am new bee to workfront. Thanks in advance!

Update 1:

I was able to create a user via the API authorising by both API key and sessionID. The parameter I missed to pass is username (not necessarily an existing username). My code is -

https://{mycompany}.attasksandbox.com/attask/api/user?updates={"firstName":"Test","lastName":"API","username":"[email protected]","emailAddr":"[email protected]"}&method=post&apiKey=t---------------------u

My first step is resolved. There are 2 more steps which I need to perform. Calling named action - assignUserToken. I tried the code as below and it didn't work https://{mycompany}.attasksandbox.com/attask/api/5.0/user/ID=4556ffs3324?action=assignUserToken&apiKey=t---------------u&method=put

ID is value returned while creating a user. Error returned is - {"error":{"class":"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException","message":"null objCode"}}

Can you share the syntax of calling this named action?

Hi Your call has a few things wrong with It 1st you are calling

api/5.0

this needs to be 

api/v5.0

2nd you are calling 

api/v5.0/user/ID=4556ffs3324

it should be 

api/v5.0/user/4556ffs3324

Other then that I dont see anything else wrong with the call.

Creating a user via API is a 3 step process as mentioned in the link but it doesn't have syntax. The syntax and steps are as below.

  1. Create user - https://{yourcompany}.attasksandbox.com/attask/api/user?updates={"firstName":"Test","lastName":"API","username":"[email protected]","emailAddr":"[email protected]"}&method=post&apiKey=-----0l

This would return a uniqe ID on response. Use this ID value for next step.

  1. Assign userToken - https://{mycompany}.attasksandbox.com/attask/api/v5.0/user/12345?action=assignUserToken&apiKey=d---l&method=put

ID value is 12345. This would further return a token. Use this token value for next step.

  1. Complete userRegistration- https://{mycompany}.attasksandbox.com/attask/api/v5.0/user/12345?action=completeUserRegistration&updates={"firstName":"Test","lastName":"API","token":"0--ab","title":"testUser","newPassword":"Password01"}&method=put&apiKey=dqy---3

That completes all the process. Now check in workfront UI.
