How to Test:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Execute go mod tidy.
3. Run the application using go run cmd/main.go.

Request Example:

To exemplify the utilization of the implemented functionality, execute the following CURL command:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/users -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyLCJ1dWlkIjoieHB0byJ9.MQtNhTd7J5uMZ86TdCZY2HXW1CZAnnWcdSnaLfjahKM"
