# Create employee

POST https://<provided-by-saturn>/partner/employees
Content-Type: application/json

Creates an employee. `email`, `first_name` and `last_name` are required; `role` defaults to ADVISOR and accepts ADVISOR, DIRECTOR, SUPPORT or "CLIENT MANAGER" (note the space). COMPLIANCE and ADMIN cannot be set through this API.

**No password is accepted.** The employee receives their login through Saturn's invite flow — this endpoint never handles a credential, and sending a `password` field returns 400.

Email must be unique across all of Saturn, not just your organisation: it doubles as the login identifier. A duplicate returns 409.

Your organisation is derived from your API key. There is no field for naming an organisation or a CRM, and any unrecognised field in the body returns 400 rather than being ignored — so a misunderstanding surfaces immediately instead of silently doing nothing.
