Ability to Control Managed Accounts via API key

Managed Accounts is a limited-release feature, enabling qualifying users to create sub-accounts with advanced management features. A Managed Account is a sub-account created from within an existing Mission Control Portal account (which we call a Manager Account). They are an intuitive way of administering multiple accounts and users from one unified interface.

For Telnyx users that leverage the Manager Account functionality, there are a couple of important updates that go into effect today.

Update 1: Deprecation of support for certain fields in Managed Account API

• For all new accounts enabled to use this feature, the following fields will no longer be populated when listing managed accounts:
  • api_key
  • api_token
  • api_user
  • balance
• The current functionality will be maintained for existing users, though there will be a deprecation timeline communicated on this in the future.

Update 2: New capability on the manager account

• From today, Manager Accounts can instead control Managed Accounts using its Manager API key by passing in the correct header.
  • curl --location --globoff 'https://api.telnyx.com/v2/addresses?page[number]=1&page[size]=20' \ --header 'x-managed-account-id: xxxx' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer KEYxxx'
• For more information on this, please refer to our Developer Documentation.
