# Create a new clinic client user

> Creates a new clinic client user (co-owner) for an existing clinic client account. The new clinic client user will have their own contact information (name, email, phone) and can be associated with a relationship type describing their connection to the account (e.g., spouse, family member).

This is used when a pet has multiple owners who each need their own contact details and communication preferences.
