I am currently trying to create a new ERPNext user through the Rest API. I have tried sending various fields including id, email, first_name and new_password. As well as just id. From what I came across on the forum, the minimum set of fields that need to be sent to the API are the required fields found in the data import feature for the doctype. In the case of a user, this is ID. When I post my data to the API I receive the following error each time, no matter if I include the email field or not. Or how I capitalize it:

So my question is: How do I determine which fields are necessary to send to create a given doc-type and how do I format those field names… Are they the actual database field names… or something else?
