Flags 

  -c, --connection-name string   Name of the database connection this user should be created in.
      --email-results            When true, sends a completion email to all tenant owners when the job is finished. The default is true, so you must explicitly set this parameter to false if you do not want emails sent. (default true)
  -t, --template string          Name of JSON example to be used. Cannot be used if the '--users' flag is passed. Options include: 'Empty', 'Basic Example', 'Custom Password Hash Example' and 'MFA Factors Example'.
      --upsert                   When set to false, pre-existing users that match on email address, user ID, or username will fail. When set to true, pre-existing users that match on any of these fields will be updated, but only with upsertable attributes.
  -u, --users string             JSON payload that contains an array of user(s) to be imported. Cannot be used if the '--template' flag is passed.
