Service User Management API

Operations related to service user management.
Service Users are API-only users. Service Users are created in, and have access to, a single account. This account is the account associated with the API key that was used to create the Service User via the API. Owner and Cluster Admin level users in an account can create Service Users. The user who creates a Service User automatically becomes an Administrator of that Service User. Administrators of a Service User may invite additional Cluster Admin users to be Controllers of that user. Owner users in an account automatically have Administrator-level access to all Service Users in that account.
A Service User may not have multiple API keys of the same type, however an account can create multiple Service Users.
