Create a user

Standard users have access to specific accounts. They can sign in to the platform with their credentials and connect to client tools and APIs using their API key and client authentication certificate.

System users, on the other hand, have access to the entire platform and all accounts. This user type is typically reserved for DigiCert employees who manage customer accounts or for on-premise deployments and partner accounts where the customer manages their own platform.
