Hi @Nintex_Admin_xyz
there is an extension here but it is a couple years out of date and I cannot guarantee it will work:
Alternatively I would recommend looking into building an event receiver that looks at a given Sharepoint list, when an item is created in the list it can execute a Powershell script, that way Nintex would only need to populate the list with the users you want to create and the Powershell script will react to it, I would recommend having the Powershell script remove the records from the list on completion to ensure no unwanted build-up.
this is the article for visual studio:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/sharepoint/how-to-create-an-event-receiver?view=vs-2022&tabs=csharp
TL:DR-
- Open Visual Studio.
- Create a new SharePoint 2019 - Empty Project.
- Right-click on the project in Solution Explorer > Add > New Item.
- Choose "Event Receiver" and name it.
- Choose the type of event you want (in your case, an item added event for a list).
It should generate an ItemAdded method in the receiver and you can add logic like this to execute a script:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("powershell.exe", @"& 'C:\path\to\your\script.ps1'");
Then to attach your event receiver to a specific list you need to edit the Elements.xml like below, the list ID template of 100 will be attached.:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Receivers ListTemplateId="100">
<Receiver>
<Name>MyEventReceiverItemAdded</Name>
<Type>ItemAdded</Type>
<Assembly>$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$</Assembly>
<Class>YourNamespace.YourEventReceiverClassName</Class>
<SequenceNumber>10000</SequenceNumber>
</Receiver>
</Receivers>
</Elements>
Another way which I prefer would be to use Powershell to attach it which can happen after you deploy it by right clicking on the project in VS and deploying.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://your_sharepoint_site_url"
$list = $web.Lists["Your List Name"]
$eventReceiver = $list.EventReceivers.Add()
$eventReceiver.Assembly = "YourAssemblyName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=your_public_key_token"
$eventReceiver.Class = "YourNamespace.YourEventReceiverClassName"
$eventReceiver.Type = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventReceiverType]::ItemAdded
$eventReceiver.SequenceNumber = 1000
$eventReceiver.Update()
$web.Dispose()
If you don’t have VS then I think you can do this in VS code but I have never done it, most of what I am writing here is from memory/articles such as this which covers event receivers in more detail:
