The parent group selected will be the administrator.
Group/Tenants cannot be deleted once created.
Create Role

Create User
To create a user with all permissions, select the parent Group/Tenant.

When logging in to the SkySync user interface, the user will only have access to features as defined by the permissions assigned to their role.
When using the REST API through Postman, update your user and password environment variables to match your created user. Be sure to get a new access token. Refreshing the access token may result in an error.
