add a new user to active directory in javascript

To add a new user to Active Directory using JavaScript, you can use the @azure/graph library in a Node.js application.

Here's an example of how to do it:

index.tsx
const { GraphRbacManagementClient } = require('@azure/graph');
const { DefaultAzureCredential } = require('@azure/identity');

const tenantId = 'YOUR_TENANT_ID';
const client = new GraphRbacManagementClient(new DefaultAzureCredential(), tenantId);

const newUser = {
  accountEnabled: true,
  displayName: 'John Doe',
  mailNickname: 'johndoe',
  userPrincipalName: 'johndoe@yourdomain.onmicrosoft.com',
};

(async () => {
  try {
    const createdUser = await client.users.create(newUser);
    console.log('User created:', createdUser);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating user:', error);
  }
})();

22 lines

In this example, we're using Azure's managed identity to authenticate with the Graph API. You'll need to replace YOUR_TENANT_ID with your Azure AD tenant ID, and set up the appropriate permissions for your managed identity to create users in your AD.

The newUser object contains the properties for the new user that you want to create. After successfully creating the user, the createdUser object returned from the Graph API will contain the newly created user's details.
