Get user's auth by token

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 the Owner of an account (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}

An API token of a manager is required for authorization. To get an API token via the Operator Control Panel, see Viewing and updating manager's information.

The manager's API token specified in an API request determines:

The role and access level of the manager, which determine the availability of a method.
The current reseller and downstream resellers accessible within a method.
