Re: script to add bulk of users to UserMan
Have you consider using the api ?
With curl (Linux/Windows) for example, or with powershell with cmdlet ´Invoke-WebRequest´.
In powershell you have to use curl.exe to get curl command, so you don't get the powershell alias to cmdlet ´Invoke-WebRequest´.
Using like a csv file for example.

Re: script to add bulk of users to UserMan
You're going to have to provide more details on what you're looking for and what your starting with...currently i want to use simple ssh
i.e.
- what version of RouterOS?
- is user manager already setup and working for users, and ONLY bulk add is needed?
- do you want user manager to generate users (i.e. /user-manager/user add-batch-users)? or... you already have some list of users (like CSV) you want to add in bulk?
- do you want it run on RouterOS, or use ssh from another PC?
- etc...

just bulk of users , all things are configured and worked fine
- do you want user manager to generate users (i.e. /user-manager/user add-batch-users)? or... you already have some list of users (like CSV) you want to add in bulk?
I want user manger to generate bulk of users not from csv
- do you want it run on RouterOS, or use ssh from another PC?
from winbox - etc...

Re: script to add bulk of users to UserMan
Good evening, I'm currently looking to use the "add-batch-user" function in mikrotik Ros v7.18 (CHR) user-man to generate users? with curl, windows powershell, or using Postman. Can you show me an example? The PUT method only works on http://ip-router/rest/user-manager/user not on http://ip-router/rest/user-manager/user/add-batch-user and POST of http://ip-router/rest/user-manager/user/ result an error of bad command. Thank youHave you consider using the api ?

Re: script to add bulk of users to UserMan
There is no batch-add-user AFAIK in V6 — but I'm not the expert on UM under V6.- what version of RouterOS?
RouterOS V6.49.7
You should be able to use a for loop to add users. You'd have to adapt to your needs, but essentially something like:
:for n from=1 to=100 do={
/user-manager/user add name="user$n" ...
}
(where the $n is a number from 1 to 100 — the the to= to use less users, or from from= if you want to add more users after the first round)

You need to use POST with http://ip-router/rest/user-manager/user/add-batch-user. It will NOT work with a PUT or GET, since it's an operation. That means you need to have JSON in body with attributes for the add-batch-user.

Thank you for your answer, but I always get the error "detail": "no such command", (in the screenshot)
NB: "username-length": 6,

Re: script to add bulk of users to UserMan
The JSON in photo is wrong "username-length" & the URL is .../add-batch-users — likely BOTH are your issue.
Using CURL with 7.19beta, the following worked (*changed password/ip):
Again, the add-batch-users command — AFAIK — new in V7 user-manager. I do not believe it's in V6 (although don't have any V6 UM installs to check)
Using CURL with 7.19beta, the following worked (*changed password/ip):
Code: Select all
curl -k 'https://192.168.88.1/rest/user-manager/user/add-batch-users' --json `jo number-of-users=1 username-length=8` --user adminusernmame:somepassword
Re: script to add bulk of users to UserMan
( On v6 web interface exist "add batch" and you can download the list of generated users. )
