Get the authentication token for an Account Owner

The Get User's auth by token method returns a one-time token for accessing the platform. With the token, a third-party user can authenticate in the Customer Control Panel as an Account Owner (see Access levels of users). The token is requested for an Account of the current Reseller or any of its downstream Resellers.

In case of authentication with a token, the Customer Control Panel is available at {installation_url}/?user_email={owner's_email}&user_token={owner's_token}

Access to the current Reseller and downstream Resellers is determined by the Manager's token in the API request.
