Function postUser

Create a user

Creates a user on your account. You determine the new user's account access by setting it to restricted or unrestricted and by defining its grants. After completion, the API sends a confirmation message containing password creation and login instructions to the user's email address.

📘

This operation can only be accessed by account users with unrestricted access. Talk to your local account administrator about access management.

Parent and child accounts

In a parent and child account environment, the following apply:

• A parent account user can create new parent account users.

• A child account can update the child account parent user (proxy user) to unrestricted. This gives the proxy user access to create new child account users.

• A child account user can create new child account users.

• You can't create a proxy user. The proxy user in a child account is predefined when you initially provision the parent-child relationship.
