You can build a cluster by promoting a Safeguard for Privileged Sessions node to the role of the Central Management node, and then join other nodes to your cluster.

To promote a node to be the Central Management node, complete the following steps:

1. Open a transaction.

   For details, see Open a transaction.

2. Create the Central Management node.

   POST an empty request to the https://<IP-address-of-node-to-become-Central-Management-node>/api/cluster/promote endpoint.

   The following is a sample response received.
