Description

Since March 2025, Scaleway allows the creation of users as Members. The release note states that "Members are users who only exist in one Organization and can not own their own Organization." Here you can see what parameters are supported by the API when creating a Member user, under "Create a new user".

Other than as a Member, a user can be created as a Guest. Currently, Scaleway's Terraform provider only allows creation of Guests, while Member users are not supported.

This feature helps automating the creation of Scaleway accounts, and removes the need for invited users to create their own organization, before being able to join the organization they were invited to. Adding this feature to the Terraform provider would be really beneficial for organizations getting started with Scaleway.
