    Hi everyone,

    I'm working with the following endpoint: guest/v1/portals/{portal_id}/visitors to create a guest user on the network. However, I can't create it because I only get a 500 error without any further details.

    Here is the JSON body I am testing. I have modified it many times, but when making the request, there is no clear response.

    {
      "name": "string",
      "id": {},
      "company_name": {},
      "user": {
        "phone": {},
        "email": {}
      },
      "is_enabled": true,
      "valid_till_no_limit": false,
      "valid_till_days": 1,
      "valid_till_hours": 0,
      "valid_till_minutes": 0,
      "notify": false,
      "notify_to": "email",
      "password": {},
      "status": true,
      "created_at": {},
      "expire_at": {}
    }

    I look forward to your comments.

    You should just enter the fields that you want to fill (or are mandatory, like name). This example works for me:

    {
  "name": "via-api3@arubadomain.com",
  "user": {
      "phone": null,
      "email": "via-api@arubaarubadomain.com"
  },
  "is_enabled": true,
  "valid_till_days": 1,
  "password": "secret-passwd123"
}

    When I tried to create a duplicate user, where the "name" fielf exists already, I also get the 500 error.

    Hopefully this sample will get you started...
