User.Create

Allows the app to create users, on behalf of the signed-in user.

Merill's Note

For an app to access data in Microsoft Graph, the user or administrator must grant it the permissions it needs. This article lists all the Microsoft Graph APIs and your tenant data that can be accessed by the application (vendor/developer) if you consent to the User.Create permission.

If you need to create an audit report of the permissions granted to all the apps in your tenant, you can run the Export-MsIdAppConsentGrantReport command. See How To: Run a quick OAuth app audit of your tenant

The validations performed on the `userPrincipalName` property on the user object, for example, verified domains and acceptable characters, are performed when setting or updating a `userPrincipalName` identity. Extra validation is enforced on issuerAssignedId when the sign-in type is set to `emailAddress` or `userName`. This property can also be set to any custom string. For more information about filtering behavior for this property, see Filtering on the identities property of a user.
