The CheckCentral API provides an endpoint for programmatically adding users.
To add a new user through the API, you will require an API token for your organization with Read/Write access. Organization administrators can create tokens through the API portal on your dashboard.
"User API Tokens" will only return data available to the user based on their granted permissions and user groups. Regular "API Tokens" have the Access Level given upon creation.
The endpoint is located at
https://api.checkcentral.cc/createUser/?apiToken=APITOKEN
where the APITOKEN placeholder is replaced with your valid token.

"email": "person@myorg.realdomain",
"accessLevel": "User",
"sendWelcomeEmail": true,
