Creating Service account

  1. Click "Service Accounts" from the left menu. Click "CREATE" from the top-right of the page.

    Note!

    If you don't see "Service Accounts" in the menu, the API-communication is not enabled for your organization. In that case, please contact technical support by clicking "Support" from the left menu or by sending email to [email protected].

  2. Enter name for the service account and select the "Organization unit" for it. Set "API" as a role. Click "SAVE" to save the entered information.

  3. Once you have saved the information for service account, opens a view which shows the id and "Private Key" of your service account. You will need this information to setup API-communication.

IMPORTANT!

Copy the "Private Key" which is seen in the view to your computer and store it securely! You cannot see the "Private key" anymore once you close the view!
