Create an administrator

POST/administrators

Creates an administrator in the current account.

By default, the new administrator receives an access email. Set send_credentials to false to skip it.

You can assign granular permissions and product access in the same request with permissions and product_ids, which also requires the administrators.manage_permissions permission. When permissions is supplied, the administrator receives only the permissions listed there instead of the role's default permissions; product_ids alone keeps the role's default permissions. If any part of the request is rejected, no administrator is created.

The API cannot create administrators with the root or master_admin role, and creating an administrator with the admin role requires the administrators.manage_permissions permission. Every permission granted in permissions must be part of the selected role's default permissions. Requests that exceed these limits return delegation_limit_exceeded.

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Autonomous mode: the API credential secret, sent as a bearer token. Credential secrets are identified by a fixed prefix.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key*string

Client-generated key that makes the request safe to retry. Must be 1 to 128 characters from [A-Za-z0-9._:-]. Required by this operation: a missing key returns idempotency_key_required, and a malformed key returns idempotency_key_invalid. Repeating the request with the same key and the same body returns the stored result with Idempotent-Replayed: true.

X-Client-Request-Id?string

Optional client-generated identifier of the request, up to 64 characters from [A-Za-z0-9._-]. Echoed back in the response and recorded in the request log; it never replaces the server-generated X-Request-Id.

Lengthlength <= 64
