Adding Users to a Dashboard with Postman Flows

This article will explain how to add N number of Users to a dashboard.

We will use just 2 postman requests within a Postman Flow, alongside some control flow logic and a few variables to create as many users as you want.

😱 Unfortunately Postman Flows CANNOT be shared on the free subscription, but as they are so easy to create, we are going to create it from scratch

Postman flows employ or reference existing postman collection requests, so before creating a flow we have to create the requests that we want to put in our flow.

To help visualise where we are heading here is a image of the flow end result.

There are just 2 Send Requests, one (1) is to logon onto the dashboard and get a token which is used as the authenticator in the other second call (2) which creates a user.

The create user send request is part of a repeating control flow that loops the number of times you have set the variable usersToCreate

The variable userNamePrefix is used as the prefix for all user names.

The variable StartAt sets the user number to start creating from.

Create Users Collection

Lets get started by creating a new Collection in Postman called Create Users

Now we will create the 2 POST requests, Get Token & Create User
