My goal is to find some way of getting employees and their login accounts added to Virto (without manually keying them). Since I don’t see a way to do that with a CSV import, I turned to the REST API.

I see that I can do a POST to the /api/employees endpoint to successfully add an employee to one or more organizations. However, I don’t see how to add the employee login account, with role, at the same time – or after the fact, for that matter.

Does anyone know how I can do that?

I recommend creating a new employee account using back office and [capture web traffic](https://www.virtocommerce.org/t/capture-web-session-traffic/678). Because Admin panel is SPA, you will see list of correct Rest API call that are required to create an entity in Virto Commerce.
