Issue
- I would like to create a user via UserLocalServiceUtil.addUser()
- One of the parameters required is 'int type'.
- What value should I provide to this type parameter?
Environment
- DXP 7.4
- Quarterly Releases
Resolution
- The type parameter defines the user in a global scope:
- 0: GUEST (e.g. for Commerce use cases);
- 1: REGULAR;
- 2: DEFAULT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
- For the purpose of creating a new user, type should be 1.
