Send-SfRequest : BadRequest: User must be added as an employee.

[eddison414]

I'm trying to create an employee account (not a client) but I always get the same error. I'm not sure what am I doing wrong. When I put some domain of my company, I get the error. When a put a different domain like "@gmail.com" it does work.

Add-PSSnapin sharefile
$sfClient =  Get-SfClient -Name "C:\Users\user\Documents\MySubdomain.sfps"

#create contact in ShareFile
$user = New-Object ShareFile.Api.Models.AccountUser

#required fields
$user.FirstName = "testuser"
$user.LastName = "shafiletest"
$user.Email = "[email protected]"

#create client user
Send-SfRequest $sfClient `
               -Method POST `
               -Entity users `
               -Body $user `
               -Parameters @{"addshared" = "true"}

You have the wrong Entity. Also, the "addshared" is obsolete (will always be true) and is unnecessary. If you want an example, you can look at this Gist.
