Unable to create customer Account using SoftLayer Branding APi

Question

We have a partner account in SoftLayer. While creating a customer tenant/account using softlayer branding API through partner credential it shows "You don't have such permissions"- Can you please tell me what I need to perform to grant the concern permission ?

Also can you please guide me for the following aspects : 1. Can we create multiple tenant/ customer account for a single customer in SoftLayer ? If No then which field should be treated as a unique for individual customers 2. Can we get Order's all billable(RAM, CPU etc.) item usage daily basis ? (usage in term of used amount and price/unit )

Answer 1

the Branding API creates new accounts, if you are able to create the new account in the https://agent.softlayer.com/ portal you should be able to create it via API, if you get the same issue in the portal, I suggest you to submit a ticket to Softlayer.

check this example about create accounts for brands. https://softlayer.github.io/python/create_account/

regardin your questions: 1.- You can create several accounts for the brands. 2.- Usin API there is no a method wich return the usage daily, but you can see your invoices take a look at this code https://gist.github.com/underscorephil/5861175
