Create manager

The Create manager method is used for creating a manager for the current reseller or any of its downstream resellers.

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.

Only managers with the System administrator role can create new a manager (see Managers' Roles).

POST {base_url}/api/v3/resellers/{reseller_id}/managers
