Hi, you should use

SP.FieldUserValue.fromUser('i:0#.f|membership|email address removed for privacy reasons')

you have to get the LoginName from the user

Example

var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();

var list = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle(listTitle);

var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();

var listItem = list.addItem(itemCreateInfo);

listItem.set_item("Title", "Item Test User");

listItem.set_item("Author", SP.FieldUserValue.fromUser("i:0#.f|membership|email address removed for privacy reasons"));

listItem.update();

context.executeQueryAsync(

function () {

console.log("Request has been created");

function logError(sender, args) {

console.log(args.get_message());

}

);

Thanks
