# Add target users for a customer

As a Reseller you can add target users for a customer by getting their Company ID from the companies list and sending it in the request. The flow: list companies, pick the customer, then call the target-users endpoint with **`X-KEEPNET-Company-Id`**. Use a credential with Client Role = **Reseller**.

***

## POST /api/companies/search

Get the customer’s Company ID by calling this endpoint; use the `resourceId` of the desired company in the next step.

> Retrieves a paginated list of all companies you manage with license details. Each item includes `resourceId` — use it as the Company ID for scoped requests. **Test it:** Authorize with Client ID/Secret, then Send — request body is pre-filled.

[keepnet-api-spec.json](https://3453589210-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LMcQ_WCXOrHv3r05ae5%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-31c738c1a6bb3d2911bd3730c780d6ad7fa6bbad%2Fkeepnet-api-spec.json?alt=media)
{% endopenapi %}

From the response, pick the company (e.g. by `name`) and note its `resourceId`. Example: `"resourceId": "xC5kfGz7w2Nz"` → use `xC5kfGz7w2Nz` as Company ID when calling `POST /api/target-users`.

***

## POST /api/target-users

Add target users for that company by sending the Company ID in the **`X-KEEPNET-Company-Id`** header. Without it, the user may be created in the wrong context or the request may fail.

> Creates a new target user. As a Reseller, send **`X-KEEPNET-Company-Id: <companyResourceId>`** with the customer’s Company ID from the companies search response. Body: `email`, `firstName`, `lastName`, and optional fields (e.g. `department`). **Test it:** Endpoints → **TargetUser** → **Creates a new target user** — use dummy data (H8d) and set the header to a Company ID from companies/search.

[keepnet-api-spec.json](https://3453589210-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LMcQ_WCXOrHv3r05ae5%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-31c738c1a6bb3d2911bd3730c780d6ad7fa6bbad%2Fkeepnet-api-spec.json?alt=media)
{% endopenapi %}

Example request headers:

```http
Authorization: Bearer <your_access_token>
Content-Type: application/json
X-KEEPNET-Company-Id: xC5kfGz7w2Nz
```

Example body (dummy data):

```json
{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "firstName": "Jane",
  "lastName": "Doe"
}
```

## Common errors

* **403 Forbidden** — Credential is not Reseller, or the Company ID is not one you manage. Set Client Role = **Reseller**. [Roles and permissions →](/next-generation-product/platform/company/system-users/user-roles.md)
* **401 Unauthorized** — Missing or invalid token. Request a new token via `POST /connect/token`.
* **404 Not Found** / **400 Bad Request** — Invalid Company ID or missing required body fields. Verify Company ID from `POST /api/companies/search` and check Endpoints → **TargetUser** for the request body schema.

**Related:** [Scope API requests to a customer →](/api-reference/reseller/companies/scope-api-requests-to-customer.md) for how Company ID is used across endpoints. [Add system user for a customer →](/api-reference/reseller/users-and-groups/add-system-user-for-customer.md) for the same flow with system users.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.keepnetlabs.com/api-reference/reseller/users-and-groups/add-target-users-for-customer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
