Description

Hi Dev Team,

I spin up a gitea server and try to automatically create users with API, the response always containing the same problem:

{"message":"PasswordIsRequired","url":"http://<gitea-url>:<gitea-port>/api/swagger"}

My tries:
gitea server version: 1.24.2.
same token can list users, repos, create repos, but can not create users

• Request to create repo(worked):

curl -X 'POST' \
 'http://<gitea-url>:<gitea-port>/api/v1/admin/users/<admin_user>/repos' \
 -H 'accept: application/json' \
 -H 'Authorization: token <token-created-by-admin>' \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{
 "name": "test_api"
}'

• Request to create user(NOT worked ):

curl -X 'POST' \
 'http://<gitea-url>:<gitea-port>/api/v1/admin/users' \
 -H 'accept: application/json' \
 -H 'Authorization: token <token-created-by-admin>' \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -d '{
 "email": "user1@example.com",
 "full_name": "user1",
 "login_name": "user1",
 "must_change_password": false,
 "password": "user1",
 "restricted": false,
 "visibility": "public",
 "send_notify": false,
 "username": "user1"
}'
