I know you can add and update users via the API, however can all user fields be included (e.g the customizable «&nbsp;User\_ref&nbsp;» fields)?

Also can Groups be created and members assigned via the API ?

Thanks

Thank you - the documentation doesn’t mention the use of the user\_ref fields, but I understand these can be used.

One additional question - can the user\_ref fields be used as a default value for an form field??

Dear David,

It is not possible to use a user\_ref as default value inside the form.  
Please find hereby access to the concerned tutorial: [The Customizable User Fields](https://www.kizeo-forms.com/en/customisable-user-fields/).

Have a nice day.

Kurt
