Manager generation?

English translation:manager creation
Explanation:
Is this some kind of company management software where the user creates employee/manager objects? If it is something like this, I'd go with [creation] instead of [generation]. The former is more often used for things like [user creation], [account creation], [create a profile] etc.

The word [generate] is typically used for more automated processes. For example, if a person types in a password it might be called a [user-created password], whereas a program that comes up with random passwords is more likely to be called a [password generator] (not [password creator]). Similarly for [random number generator] and [code generator].

Thank you for comments. I understand the difference between generation and creation. This time "manager" is a proper noun in XML languages.

agree  Marc Brunet: Should we perhaps supplement a missing word, here, based on your likely context (an error msg): "manager account creation failed"? would be grateful for your views...

  -> It definitely feels like it needs something else, but without knowing the exact situation it's hard to say what would fit best. "account" would fit as you mentioned, or maybe "profile" or "entry." It could even be something like "template"
