NPrinting: Include the parameter "Description" in NPrinting API for POST user method

Using the POST /api/v1 it is not possible to set "Description" field while it is possible to do it directly in the UI from NPrinting Web Console.

The parameter "Description" does not appear here and we would like it to be included just as it it possible to do it through the NPrinting Web Console: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/June2019/APIs/NP+API/index.html?page=116

When trying to add "Description" through POST API call, the parameter does not give an error, just 200 OK but then the "Description" field is not populated.

It would be nice to have this field also available for POST users.

Good idea! We also found this. The users "Desciption" is apparently missing and can not be added through the NPrinting API. The description is good to use when describing the user. Now it is empty for all our users. We maintain all our np users through the api in our company.

I hope Qlik will fix this.
