Creating a Customer

Function

This API is used to create a Huawei Cloud account for a customer when the customer creates an account on your sales platform, and bind the customer account on the partner sales platform to the HUAWEI CLOUD account. In addition, the Huawei Cloud account is bound to the partner account.

After a HUAWEI CLOUD account is created for a customer, SAML authentication is required if the customer wants to switch from the partner sales platform to the Huawei Cloud official website. For details, see "SAML Authentication" in Web UI Mode.
If you do not enter the email address when creating a customer, the customer cannot receive any email notification from Huawei Cloud. The customer needs to log in to the Huawei Cloud to add the email address by themselves.
When the API for creating a customer is invoked, Huawei Cloud will synchronously create a Huawei Cloud customer account and send the customer ID and account name to the partner platform. Then, Huawei Cloud associates the customer with the partner asynchronously. To query the association result, you can invoke the API described in Querying Customers.
Newly created customers are associated with their partners in the reseller model by default.

Constraints

This API can be invoked using the partner AK/SK or token only.
Huawei Cloud Customer Agreement and Privacy Statement must be displayed on the page for creating a customer on the partner sales platform.
Obtain the verification code using the API in Sending a Verification Code and then invoke this API if you enter the email address when creating a customer.
The password must contain at least eight characters, which will take effect since August 1, 2022.

Debugging

You can debug the API in API Explorer which supports automatic authentication. API Explorer can automatically generate and debug example SDK code.
