}
Parameters
- userName
- Required. A name for the user that's about to be created. This needs to be unique within the entire security realm (not just within the account).
- password
- Required only if securityQuestion and securityAnswer were not provided. A password for the user. This needs to be between 8 and 50 characters long inclusive, must contain at least one alpha and at least one numeric character, and must not contain any of the following characters: & ` ' " \ / < > $
- securityQuestionCode
- Required if password was not provided. The reference code for a question that the user can use to recover the password in case (s)he forgot it. This must be selected from a pre-approved list of questions. If securityQuestion was provided, a securityAnswer must also be provided.
- securityAnswer
- Required if password was not provided. An answer to the security question. If the user provides the correct answer during password recovery, the password will be reset and (s)he will be allowed to access the account. If securityAnswer was provided, a securityQuestion must also be provided. The API will automatically normalize the security answer by removing starting and ending spaces, lowercase the security answer and replace each sequence of whitespaces with just one single space character.
