Creates a new child team under your partner account. The response returns a team_id — save this value, as it is required to authenticate subsequent requests on behalf of that team. For a conceptual overview, see Team Management — Create Team.

​
Using the team_id

Pass the returned team_id in the x-authenticate-team header to perform actions in the context of the child team: 
x-authenticate-team: <team_id>
This header is supported by the following endpoints: When the header is omitted, the action is performed in the context of the parent team.

​
Team ownership

If owner_email is omitted, the parent team’s owner automatically becomes the owner of the newly created child team.
