Create user profile using CSOM in a On-Prem SP 2013 server

Question

I need to create user profiles in the User Profile service, and I need to use the Client Side Object Model. The SP server is a on-Prem SharePoint 2013 server. How can this be implemented?

Answer 1

User Profiles cannot be created or Updated using CSOM as of now. You can update user profile properties using CSOM in SPO but not in On-Prem.

You can create user profile in SP 2013 server with Server Side Object Model.
