In my previous post I’ve mentioned about working on a script that automatically creates users and nodes for each user. This exercise would be pretty straightforward. However the problem would add a layer of complexity when the magnitude of users that needs to be created is in the order of hundreds or even thousands, as [...]
I had a task that involves creating users by code, then creating a node for each of these users.
