; }; App Users are programmatic user accounts that can be created by apps using server authentication (JWT or Client Credentials Grant). They represent users, groups, or processes behind the scenes in your application without requiring a Box account to log in. Before you can create App Users, your JWT or CCG application must be authorized in the Admin Console, which generates a Service Account. You use the Service Account's access token to create App Users through the API. App Users can only be accessed through the Box APIs and don't have credentials to log in to `box.com` directly. ## Common App User Patterns Typically app users are created for a number of different patterns: * To represent a single application user or group of users without a `box.com` account. * To represent an application process, such as having the app user monitor all events within an enterprise. * To provide the application with the ability to completely control the file and folder structure of a user account without the possibility of that content being modified through the `box.com` web app. ## Creating a New App User To generate a new app user, the minimal information that will be required will be a name for the app user. ```java Java v5 theme={null} BoxUser.Info createdUserInfo = BoxUser.createAppUser(api, "A User"); ``` ```python Python v4 theme={null} new_app_user = client.create_user('App User 123', login=None) ``` ```cs .NET v6 theme={null} var userParams = new BoxUserRequest() { Name = "App User 12", ExternalAppUserId = "external-id", IsPlatformAccessOnly = true }; BoxUser newUser = await client.UsersManager.CreateEnterpriseUserAsync(userParams); ``` To see all available optional parameters that may be set when creating an app user, see the create user endpoint. Before you can make any changes to the newly created account, you need to click the link you receive in the confirmation email. Once the app user is created a user object will be returned. Within the user object is an ID for the app user, which may be used to make API requests to modify the user in the future.
