Related guide: [Users in Confluent Cloud](https://docs.confluent.io/cloud/current/access-management/user-account.html). ## The Users Model <SchemaDefinition schemaRef="#/components/schemas/iam.v2.User" /> ## Quotas and Limits This resource is subject to the [following quotas](https://docs.confluent.io/cloud/current/quotas/overview.html): | Quota | Description | | --- | --- | | `users_per_org` | Users in one Confluent Cloud organization |
  - `api_version` 'iam/v2', required — APIVersion defines the schema version of this representation of a resource.
  - `kind` 'User', required — Kind defines the object this REST resource represents.
  - `id` string, required — ID is the "natural identifier" for an object within its scope/namespace; it is normally unique across time but not space. That is, you can assume that the ID will not be reclaimed and reused after an object is deleted ("time"); however, it may collide with IDs for other object `kinds` or objects of the same `kind` within a different scope/namespace ("space").
  - `metadata` object — ObjectMeta is metadata that all persisted resources must have, which includes all objects users must create.
    - `self` string, uri, required — Self is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) at which an object can be addressed. This URL encodes the service location, API version, and other particulars necessary to locate the resource at a point in time
    - `resource_name` string, uri — Resource Name is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that is globally unique across space and time. It is represented as a Confluent Resource Name
    - `created_at` string, date-time — The date and time at which this object was created. It is represented in RFC3339 format and is in UTC.
    - `updated_at` string, date-time — The date and time at which this object was last updated. It is represented in RFC3339 format and is in UTC.
    - `deleted_at` string, date-time — The date and time at which this object was (or will be) deleted. It is represented in RFC3339 format and is in UTC.
  - `email` string, email, required — The user's email address
