# Ability to Control Managed Accounts via API key

### 19, Jun 2023

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'](https://api.telnyx.com/v2/addresses?page%5Bnumber%5D=1&page%5Bsize%5D=20')  
\--header 'x-managed-account-id: xxxx'  
\--header 'Authorization: Bearer KEYxxx'
* For more information on this, please refer to our [Developer Documentation](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/account/managed-accounts).
