ResellerRegistrationAdd URL
This URL is used in business indirect scenarios.
This URL is used in business indirect scenarios. It registers a new organization and creates a new user whose parent is the newly created organization. The new reseller organization and reseller administrator are placed in pending approval state. After the Site Administrator has approved the organization and user, then the user can log onto the associated organization.
The ResellerRegistrationAdd URL is a wrapper URL for the OrgEntityAdd and UserRegistrationAdd URLs. Specifically, this URL first calls the OrgEntityAdd URL and then the UserRegistrationAdd URL. Except for a few parameters, this URL accepts all the parameters of the UserRegistrationAdd URL with "usr_" added as a prefix to each parameter. Likewise, except for a few cases, this URL accepts all the parameters of the OrgEntityAdd URL with "org_" added as a prefix to each parameter. The following are the exceptions:
- You cannot pass the parentMember parameter to the OrgEntityAdd URL, that is do not add a prefix to "usr_" to the parentMember parameter to make it usr_parentMember. Instead, the parentMember information is read from the <RegistrationParents> element of the MemberRegistrationAttributes.xml file.
- For the OrgEntityAdd URL, the administratorFirstName, administratorLastName, and administratorMiddleName values are retrieved from usr_firstName, usr_lastName, and usr_middleName. Thus you do cannot pass in org_administratorFirstName, org_administratorLastName, and org_administratorMiddleName.
- For the OrgEntityAdd URL, you cannot pass in the orgEntityType value as this is set to O.
- For the UserRegistrationAdd URL, you cannot pass in the parentMember value since this is determined when the new organization is created.
After the reseller is registered, the reseller cannot log on until the Site Administrator provides approval. Information for new users are stored in the ADDRESS, BUSPROF, MBRREL, MEMBER, ORGENTITY, USERDEMO, USERPROF, USERREG, and USERS database tables.
