Creating a new user

  1. Are you ready?

    In this tutorial you will learn how to create a new user on User perspective. After user is created, email notifications with user credentials will be sent to a user or/and a creator. To learn more about user email notifications, review this guide. To learn more about users' privileges and access policy, review this guide. Two types of users are available within the gateway: Service and Human.
    A user that was created as Service can have explicit access to API.
    A user that was created as Human will have access only to the user interface. The Permission level will depend on the user's permissions that are frequently granted to users collectively. Thus, when a user is created a particular role can be assigned instead of a large number of individual permissions. In the gateway system, there are twelve security roles that belong to four groups (System, Portfolio, Reseller, Merchant, Customer). Security roles are organized hierarchically from System 2 (the highest security level with the largest number of permissions) to Customer 1 (the least number of permissions). To learn more about permissions based security mechanism, review this guide." >Security Role (customer, merchant, reseller, portfolio, system). Perspectives and functionalities related to the terminal, processing and recurring modules are not available for human users.

    For creation of a Service user we will use the following parameters:
    Owner: Reseller
    Owner Code: Best Software
    Full Name: My POS
    User Name: mypos
    Privileges: Processing API, Management API, Billing API, TMS API
    Time Zone: EST
    Default Merchant Account: My First Merchant (created in the Creating a merchant (basic) tutorial)

    Contact Information:
    John Smith
    300 5th Ave
    New York, NY 10001
    john.smith@email.com

    For creation of a Human user we will use the following parameters:
