Create User When Identity Exists?

Good day all.  I am running into a problem when trying to create a User.  I have an Identity that is used during Lifecycle Released state for documents.  I would like this Identity to send an e-mail to a specific account.  I figured that I would create a User to add the e-mail to, but when I create the User I receive a message stating that I can't because the Identity already exists.  How can I fix this issue?  Also, how can I associate the two?  Thank you for the help.

  • Hi Nathan

    Using below AML query you can connect User and Identity 

    <AML>
      <Item type="User" id="" action="add" doGetItem="0">   // Random GUID
        <login_name></login_name> // User Login Name
        <first_name></first_name>
        <last_name></last_name>
        <logon_enabled></logon_enabled> // Default 1
        <owned_by_id></owned_by_id> // Existing Identity GUID 
        <email></email>
        <Relationships>
          <Item type="Alias" id="" action="add"> // Random GUID
            <related_id></related_id>  // Existing Identity GUID 
            <source_id></source_id> // Above User Random GUID
          </Item>
        </Relationships>
      </Item>
    </AML>

    Example Query 

    <AML>
      <Item type="User" id="21928F9AC5DB44A4BB8A9FC3273FA85F" action="add" doGetItem="0">
        <login_name>existinguser</login_name>
        <first_name>Existing</first_name>
        <last_name>User</last_name>
        <logon_enabled>1</logon_enabled>
        <owned_by_id> F2C3755755C44EB6B81AFEEF1C49473E</owned_by_id>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
        <Relationships>
          <Item type="Alias" id="7766F3F302644E128C60A88F7DC9863E" action="add">
            <related_id>F2C3755755C44EB6B81AFEEF1C49473E</related_id>
            <source_id>21928F9AC5DB44A4BB8A9FC3273FA85F</source_id>
          </Item>
        </Relationships>
      </Item>
    </AML>
