Create a Reseller#

This procedure creates a reseller.

Note

Once Automate is installed, the entadmin` administrator (Enterprise deployment) or hcs administrator (Provider deployment) creates the provider.

Creating a reseller is optional.
From release 24.2 onwards, the creation of a site, customer, reseller, and provider no longer automatically creates cloned roles. For users who have custom bulk loaders and need to carry out this automatic cloning task, an new boolean field needs to be added to such bulk load sheets and set to TRUE:
```
"name": "clone_admin_role"
"title": "Clone Admin Role"
```

Log in as Provider administrator.

Log in with the provider administrator’s email address (case-sensitive). The hcsadmin` administrator can find the Provider administrator’s email address on the Admins form (default menu User Management > Admins, then click on the Provider’s name).
Go to (default menus) Reseller Management > Resellers.
On the Resellers form, click Add.

On the Reseller Details tab, complete the following fields:

Option	Description
Name	Mandatory. The name of the reseller. This name can’t be changed once you’ve saved it. Any spaces in the reseller name are converted to underscores in the reseller local administrator name and email.
Description	Reseller description
Directory Domain	Reseller’s directory domain. This field is used to create an email address for the reseller default local administrator, for example Reseller1Admin@reseller1.com. If omitted, the domain of the Provider is used.
Create Local Admin	Defines whether a default local administrator is created. This enables Admin Username and Admin Password.
Admin Role	Role to select if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.

Source Admin Role	Role to select if the Clone Admin Role check box is selected.
New Admin Role	An auto-generated, read-only role name that appears only if the Clone Admin Role check box is selected.
