Always check the `errorText` field in the response body to determine whether the request succeeded or failed.Requests with `firstName` and `lastName` fields exceeding a combined 60 characters are rejected, despite each field individually allowing up to 64 characters.**US vs Non-US Requirements**- **US citizens**: Require a valid `taxIdentifier` (Social Security Number, exactly 9 digits). The `nationalId` field is optional. - **Non-US citizens**: Require a valid `nationalId` (2-64 alphanumeric characters). The `taxIdentifier` field is optional.**`requestId` for Uploading Documents**A successful request returns a unique `requestId`. Use this value:- As the `subAccountRequestId` when uploading the user's required documents with [`submitPartnerSubAccountDocument`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/users/submit-partner-subaccount-document) - As the `subAccountRequestId` when tracking the progress of a subaccount request with [`getPartnerSubAccountRequestStatus`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/users/get-partner-subaccount-request-status)**Optional: Attach Previously Uploaded Documents**If you have already uploaded the user's required documents with [`submitCustomerApplicationDocument`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/users/submit-customer-application-document), you can link them to the subaccount request by providing all three `documentId` fields (partial sets are rejected):- `pOAFormDocId` - `governmentDocId` - `addressDocId`If you provide all three document IDs, the documents are linked directly and you do not need to call [`submitPartnerSubAccountDocument`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/users/submit-partner-subaccount-document) afterward.**Optional: Specify an Auto-Liquidation Profile**Include `autoLiqProfileId` to assign a specific [auto-liquidation profile](/overview/prop-firm-management/risk-management/pre-trade-risk#auto-liquidation-profile) to the new account. If you omit this field, the system uses your organization's default auto-liquidation profile.The system validates that the profile exists and belongs to your organization before accepting the request. If validation fails, the response includes an `errorText`:- `"Auto-liq profile not found"`: the profile ID does not exist - `"Auto-liq profile does not belong to this organization"`: the profile belongs to a different organizationContact Evaluation Support for your organization's available profile IDs.**Common Failure Scenarios**- Invalid or non-existent `ctaUserId` - `ctaUserId` belongs to a different organization - Missing required fields (firstName, lastName, citizenship, etc.) - Invalid Social Security Number (SSN) format for US citizenship (must be exactly 9 digits) - Missing `nationalId` for non-US citizenship - Invalid country or citizenship code (must be 2-character ISO code) - Invalid name characters (letters, spaces, hyphens, apostrophes, periods only) - Combined first and last name exceeds 60 characters - Non-admin user attempting to call the endpoint - Country or state is restricted - No master account found for the organization admin - No customer application found for the master account - Insufficient funds in master account to cover the `transferAmount` - Max subaccount limit exceeded for the given trader - When providing document IDs, must provide all three or none (partial is rejected) - Provided document IDs do not exist in the database - `autoLiqProfileId` references a non-existent profile - `autoLiqProfileId` belongs to a different organization**Next Steps**- If you have not uploaded the user's required documents, call [`submitPartnerSubAccountDocument`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/users/submit-partner-subaccount-document) to upload them. - If you already uploaded the user's required documents and provided the document IDs, call [`getPartnerSubAccountRequestStatus`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/users/get-partner-subaccount-request-status) to check the status of the subaccount request.
