Configuring API access for internal and external users
:
  • Go to the
    API access for users
     section and click the radio button beside the option that you want to select:
    • All
      : When All is selected, all users by default have API access with no change to access level in the role mapping.
    • None
      : When None is selected, all users have no API access. Users cannot view APIs or generate API keys. Individual users cannot be enabled or disabled.
    • Specific
      : When specific is selected:
      • Users can enable API access for individual users and cancel enablement.
      • By default, the system will disable API access for new portal users that are created.
      • API access can be enabled/disabled for a specific user at any time by System Admins, User Admins, and Technical System Admins.
      • When API access is disabled for a user, the API key should be revoked immediately, and a new API key cannot be generated for that user. Also, access to Swagger API documentation within the user interface will be disallowed.
      • If a user is made inactive, then API access is disabled automatically and API keys are revoked. The System Admin is notified that the API keys are being revoked.
      When authorization is set to
      Internal
      , authorized users can enable or disable API access for individual users (when the configuration setting is set to enable API access for specific users).
