Description

Problem Statement:

While creating a user from UI its firstName is a compulsory field but while creating it through making POST request on /xuser/secure/users its not a compulsory parameter.

 

Steps to reproduce:

Make a post request on /xuser/secure/users endpoint with following payload:

{ "name":"temp_user_abc_12345", "firstName":null, "lastName": "user1", "loginId": "user1", "emailAddress" : null, "description" : "user1 desc", "password" : "user1Pass@123", "groupIdList":[1], "groupNameList":["public"], "status":1, "isVisible":1, "userRoleList": [ "ROLE_USER" ], "userSource": 0 }

Response:

{     "id": 323,     "createDate": "2023-01-17T06:49:12Z",     "updateDate": "2023-01-17T06:49:12Z",     "owner": "Admin",     "updatedBy": "Admin",     "name": "temp_user_abc_12345",     "lastName": "user1",     "password": "*****",     "description": "user1 desc",     "groupIdList": [         1     ],     "groupNameList": [         "public"     ],     "status": 1,     "isVisible": 1,     "userSource": 0,     "userRoleList": [         "ROLE_USER"     ] }

 
With firstName as null also the user is creating successfully.
