System user management

Understand the concept of system users, which can be a person or a system, and how they can access the User Interface (UI) only through API keys.
System Users do not have access to the User Interface (UI) and can access only API Keys. System Users can be a person or a system.
User Admins
 and
System Admins
 can manage System Users, while
Team Setup Admins
 can view System Users assigned on a team's details page.
Before you can manage System Users, you must first enable the System User function with an API.

    System Users
     tab.
The System Users tab is for setting up and managing System Users. Authorized users can perform the following tasks through the System Users tab:
  • Add a system user
  • View and edit a user
  • Add a system user to a team
  • Unassign a system user from a team
  • Delete a system user
  • Bulk delete system users

  • Revoke API keys
