Colocation Programmatic Users

Hello, 

I was told it was removed previously, but I would really like the ability to CRUDD Colocation Administration/Users from the Equinix API. The Equinix API is great for many things, unfortunately, this is the biggest one I would use it for. 

To put some context around this, I have 7 different colocation vendors that I manage operational tickets, work visits and user access for. I would really like the ability to at least centralize some of these functions to my own application, and a proper API endpoint for this specific functionality would allow us to onboard and offboard users much easier and more effectively. 

Another option may be for Equinix to move its colocation identity management to it's customer facing IAM solution, which I believe already has public facing API endpoints.

Thank you.

    Hi D26​ 

    I’m a Senior Product Manager on the Colocation team. Thank you for the detailed context—managing access across seven different vendors is exactly the type of complexity we aim to simplify.

    I’d love to hop on a quick call to dive deeper into your requirements and ensure our roadmap aligns with your needs. I’ll be reaching out via PM and email shortly to coordinate.
