[RESOLVED] How to programmatically create users without stopping a (standalone) instance?

There are probably several ways to do what you want.
Maybe you can explain your use case?

I have to add about one hundred users and I would like to not do it by hand. Because my site is a Plone 5.2/python3 one, I guess I could not use collective.mass_subscriptions that in addition seems to have some issues.

I came across the nice way of programmatically create users given in my OP so I wanted to do it but my site is a standalone one and is already in production. Hence I'm reluctant to stopping it.

@espenmn

Personally, I would make a browser view if you plan to do this a lot.

I plan to this not a lot, but regularly (each year when we have to add new students to our intra/extranet. I guess immersing myself in browser views would be less time consuming than in REST API. So I will probably go that way.

@espenmn

If you (for some weird reason) have a list of uses that you want to add to a lot of sites

So, only for one site.

Thanks!
