AddAccount Service Operation - Customer Management
Creates a new account within an existing customer.
A user with Super Admin credentials can add accounts under their own customer.
Tip
Resellers typically should call SignupCustomer instead of AddAccount. For more details see the Account Hierarchy technical guide.
Note
Customers in the closed Unified smart campaigns pilot can add a new account for Unified smart campaigns. The AccountMode must be set to "UnifiedSmart".
