• assignNewParentId
  This method can be used in place of [SoftLayer_User_Customer::editObject](/reference/datatypes/$1/#$2) to change the parent user of this user. The new parent must be a user on the same account, and must not be a child of this user. A user is not allowed to change their own parent. If the cascadeFlag is set to false, then an exception will be thrown if the new parent does not have all of the permissions that this user possesses. If the cascadeFlag is set to true, then permissions will be removed from this user and the descendants of this user as necessary so that no children of the parent will have permissions that the parent does not possess. However, setting the cascadeFlag to true will not remove the access all device permissions from this user. The customer portal will need to be used to remove these permissions.

• createNotificationSubscriber
  Create a new subscriber for a given resource.
• createObject
  Create a new user in the SoftLayer customer portal. It is not possible to set up SLL enable flags during object creation. These flags are ignored during object creation. You will need to make a subsequent call to edit object in order to enable VPN access. An account's master user and sub-users who have the User Manage permission can add new users. Users are created with a default permission set. After adding a user it may be helpful to set their permissions and device access. secondaryPasswordTimeoutDays will be set to the system configured default value if the attribute is not provided or the attribute is not a valid value. Note, neither password nor vpnPassword parameters are required. Password When a new user is created, an email will be sent to the new user's email address with a link to a url that will allow the new user to create or change their password for the SoftLayer customer portal. If the password parameter is provided and is not null, then that value will be validated. If it is a valid password, then the user will be created with this password. This user will still receive a portal password email. It can be used within 24 hours to change their password, or it can be allowed to expire, and the password provided during user creation will remain as the user's password. If the password parameter is not provided or the value is null, the user must set their portal password using the link sent in email within 24 hours.  If the user fails to set their password within 24 hours, then a non-master user can use the 'Reset Password' link on the login page of the portal to request a new email. A master user can use the link to retrieve a phone number to call to assist in resetting their password. The password parameter is ignored for VPN_ONLY users or for IBMid authenticated users. vpnPassword If the vpnPassword is provided, then the user's vpnPassword will be set to the provided password.  When creating a vpn only user, the vpnPassword MUST be supplied.  If the vpnPassword is not provided, then the user will need to use the portal to edit their profile and set the vpnPassword. IBMid considerations When a SoftLayer account is linked to a Platform Services (PaaS, formerly Bluemix) account, AND the trait on the SoftLayer Account indicating IBMid authentication is set, then SoftLayer will delegate the creation of an ACTIVE user to PaaS. This means that even though the request to create a new user in such an account may start at the IMS API, via this delegation we effectively turn it into a request that is driven by PaaS. In particular this means that any 'invitation email' that comes to the user, will come from PaaS, not from IMS via IBMid. Users created in states other than ACTIVE (for example, a VPN_ONLY user) will be created directly in IMS without delegation (but note that no invitation is sent for a user created in any state other than ACTIVE).

  This method will change the IBMid that a SoftLayer user is linked to, if we need to do that for some reason. It will do this by modifying the link to the desired new IBMid. NOTE: This method cannot be used to 'un-link' a SoftLayer user. Once linked, a SoftLayer user can never be un-linked. Also, this method cannot be used to reset the link if the user account is already Bluemix linked. To reset a link for the Bluemix-linked user account, use resetOpenIdConnectLinkUnifiedUserManagementMode.
• resetOpenIdConnectLinkUnifiedUserManagementMode
  This method will change the IBMid that a SoftLayer master user is linked to, if we need to do that for some reason. It will do this by unlinking the new owner IBMid from its current user association in this account, if there is one (note that the new owner IBMid is not required to already be a member of the IMS account). Then it will modify the existing IBMid link for the master user to use the new owner IBMid-realm IAMid. At this point, if the new owner IBMid isn't already a member of the PaaS account, it will attempt to add it. As a last step, it will call PaaS to modify the owner on that side, if necessary. Only when all those steps are complete, it will commit the IMS-side DB changes. Then, it will clean up the SoftLayer user that was linked to the new owner IBMid (this user became unlinked as the first step in this process). It will also call BSS to delete the old owner IBMid. NOTE: This method cannot be used to 'un-link' a SoftLayer user. Once linked, a SoftLayer user can never be un-linked. Also, this method cannot be used to reset the link if the user account is not Bluemix linked. To reset a link for the user account not linked to Bluemix, use resetOpenIdConnectLink.

• setDefaultAccount
  An OpenIdConnect identity, for example an IAMid, can be linked or mapped to one or more individual SoftLayer users, but no more than one per account. If an OpenIdConnect identity is mapped to multiple accounts in this manner, one such account should be identified as the default account for that identity. Invoke this only on IBMid-authenticated users.
• silentlyMigrateUserOpenIdConnect
  As master user, calling this api for the IBMid provider type when there is an existing IBMid for the email on the SL account will silently (without sending an invitation email) create a link for the IBMid. NOTE: If the SoftLayer user is already linked to IBMid, this call will fail. If the IBMid specified by the email of this user, is already used in a link to another user in this account, this call will fail. If there is already an open invitation from this SoftLayer user to this or any IBMid, this call will fail. If there is already an open invitation from some other SoftLayer user in this account to this IBMid, then this call will fail.

• turnOffMasterUserPermissionCheckMode
  This method allows the master user of an account to undo the designation of this user as an alternate master user. This can not be applied to the true master user of the account. Note that this method, by itself, WILL NOT affect the IAM Policies granted this user. This API is not intended for general customer use. It is intended to be called by IAM, in concert with other actions taken by IAM when the master user / account owner turns off an 'alternate/auxiliary master user / account owner'.
• turnOnMasterUserPermissionCheckMode
  This method allows the master user of an account to designate this user as an alternate master user. Effectively this means that this user should have 'all the same IMS permissions as a master user'. Note that this method, by itself, WILL NOT affect the IAM Policies granted to this user. This API is not intended for general customer use. It is intended to be called by IAM, in concert with other actions taken by IAM when the master user / account owner designates an 'alternate/auxiliary master user / account owner'.
