Create User

GET https://api.mediasilo.com/v3/users/?notify={notify}

Creates a new user

Users are at the core of all MediaSilo applications. In addition to containing a user's name, address and contact information, the User object contains an array of Roles that enable a user to perform certain tasks within the scope of an Account or Project, and an array of Tags that can be used to group, sort and filter user lists.

Users must be assigned to projects to access assets

All assets are organized into projects, and a user must be assigned to a project to work with the assets within it. Once your user has been created, you will need to assign them to a project in order for the user to access MediaSilo functionality.
