Hi,

I am trying to create millions of users in Azure AD B2C using Graph API.
I have tried json batched requests as well and single requests as well of the create user api.

What I have observed is that it takes a lot of time to actually complete.

It takes almost 10-11 hrs for Graph API - single mode - to complete
It take 5 hrs for batches graph api to complete - but most of them return errors for throttling issues. So I would say it did not complete.

Am I chasing a unreasonable target to create 2 million users in 4hrs using Graph API ?
If not how to achieve this ?

or is there a better way to achieve this ?

Hi @Abhay Chandramouli ,

Thanks for reaching out.

I understand you are looking to add bulk users in Azure AD B2C and facing throttling issues.

Using Graph API, JSON batching is most reasonable to combine multiple requests, but there a limit 20 users/request in batch which would take a lot of time to add 2 million users.

However, there is a blog mentioning Powershell script to create bulk users in Azure AD B2C.

Hope this will help you to import bulk users.

Thanks,
Shweta
