Create person

Create a new person or business profile. Identify lookups such as gender, marital status and record type by their property-value codes. Set custom field responses in fields, each with the field's id and its response value. Set business to true to create a business profile, in which case a name is required. For business profiles, the required permission is a financial one (Limited Write Contributions or Full Write Accounting) rather than the people permission shown above.
