Is there an API endpoint to create a user account at the account level (not tied to a single business?)

Hi,
We’re building an automation that creates a new employee record in an external system, and want that action to create a corresponding user login in Manager.io Cloud without tying it to a single business upfront. We manage alot of businesses under one account so generating and maintaining a seperate Access Token for every business isn’t practical.
Our ideal flow:

  1. New employee is created in external system
  2. A manager .io user account is automatically created via API, with the same login/password
  3. An admin then manually assigns that user to the relevant business(es) afterward, using the existing Manager .io permissions UI

From what I can see in the api2 OpenAPI spec, Access Tokens and most endpoints (Employees, Divisions etc.) appear to be scoped per-business. I could not find a document endpoint for creating a user account at the account level.

Questions:

  • Is there an account-level API (and corresponding account level token) that supports creating users, seperate from per-business Access Tokens?

  • If not currently supported, is this something planned, or is there a recommended workaround for bulk/automated user provisioning across many businesses?

    Thanks for any guidance in advance.

  1. Is there an account‑level API (and corresponding account‑level token)?
    No. The API2 endpoints ([subdomain].manager.io/api2) are scoped per business. Access Tokens and resources such as Employees or Divisions are only available at the business level. There is no account‑level API or token for creating user accounts.

  2. If not currently supported, is this something planned?
    No. At this time, there are no plans to introduce account‑level endpoints for user creation or bulk provisioning.

  3. Is there a recommended workaround for bulk/automated user provisioning across many businesses?
    None is officially provided. The only supported method is to continue using per‑business Access Tokens and manage user accounts through the existing Manager.io Cloud UI.
