Create User is a Step (action) in Users. Creates a Joomla user with username, email, and password.
When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Create User against your linked site or an external integration, using the field values you set on General and Design. Downstream steps can read the output payload fields defined for this node.
Create User is a action step in the Users group. Action steps run in the middle or end of a flow. They perform work on your CMS, call external services, or transform data for the next step.
Typical reasons teams add Create User to a flow:
Common patterns on the canvas:
Password supports {{placeholders}}; user groups from the list or empty for Registered (ID 2). Password is stored hashed.
Use After Save user event flows for welcome email or provisioning without blocking registration.
The designer shows these tabs for this node:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Info | Plain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps |
| General | Canvas label and read-only node ID |
| AI | Optional assistant to help draft settings from plain language |
| Design | Node-specific configuration fields |
These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:

Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.
After this step runs, later nodes can reference these fields using placeholders such as {{create_user.id}}.
| Field key | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id | string | Primary record identifier. |
username | string | Text value from this node's output. |
email | string | Text value from this node's output. |
name | string | Display name of the record. |
groups | array | User group IDs assigned to the account. |
