Creating user profiles via web service

There is one main profile type in EthosCE, used to store learner information, such as first name, last name, location, and any custom fields. Instructions on creating a user with the default profile are found at Creating a user via web service.

Customers using the Faculty Management feature have access to two additional profile types, Faculty Bio and Disclosure. The instructions below will detail the calls required to populate the more complex fields found in these types.
