Users
What is a user
A user is an entity which can be an individual that holds an account at nCore which is represented by the user object. The user object stores the user's demographic data like (name, date of birth, email, address, nationality, gender etc.). Your application calls the nCore API to create and manage the users and their identification.
nCore supports linking multiple users in a parent-child relationship. You can use the /users endpoint to create these relationships between two users (where one user is the parent and the other is the child). The parent-child relationship can be extended to n-level of parent-child hierarchy. This relationship is very useful in maintaining real world relationships between multiple users.
To create a parent-child relationship, the parent must be an existing user. When creating a child user, set the parent_user_id field to the unique identifier of the parent. The parent_user_id can also be set or reset later on by using the update user API.
