}Create sub-user
Auth context: merchant only. Rate limit: 100/min.
steamId is required and is what identifies a sub-user: it must be unique
within your account, and a second create with the same SteamID64 is rejected
with STEAM_ID_TAKEN. The same SteamID64 may exist under another merchant —
uniqueness is scoped to you, never global. email is optional and may be
shared by several of your sub-users. externalId is your own stable
identifier and can be used in subsequent calls (path params, On-Behalf-Of).
New sub-users inherit the merchant’s feeBps (per-merchant default,
falling back to the global default).

}Authorizations
Your raw API key. Generate, rotate, and revoke keys from the merchant
dashboard. Keys can optionally be bound to one or more allowed source
IPs — requests from any other IP are rejected with API_KEY_IP_DENIED.
Body
steamId identifies the sub-user and is unique within your account. email is optional and may repeat across your sub-users.
