"description": "Creates a user if the user does not already exist, or updates an existing user\nidentified by e-mail address or external ID.\n\nIf you don't specify a role parameter, the new user is assigned the role of end user.\n\nIf you need to create users without sending out a verification email, include a `\"skip_verify_email\": true` property in the body.\n\n#### Response Status Code\n\n- If the user exists in Zendesk, a successful request returns a 200 status code with \"Location: /api/v2/users/{user_id}.json\".\n- If the user does not exist in Zendesk, a successful request returns a 201 status code with \"Location: /api/v2/users/{new_user_id}.json\".\n\n#### Rate Limit\n\nThe rate limit is 5 requests per minute for each unique end user profile. For example, you can make 10 calls per second as long as you make five calls for one user and five calls for another user.\nThe rate limiting mechanism behaves as described in\n[Usage Limits](/api-reference/introduction/rate-limits/#monitoring-your-request-activity)\nin the API introduction. Zendesk recommends that you obey the Retry-After header values.\n\n#### Allowed For\n\n* Agents, with restrictions on certain actions\n"
