MJanssen Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Hello, I have a quick question. Is it also possible to create a system API key that is not linked to a user account? Hornbill Keysafe's general APIkeys are invalid for the API integrations (https://wiki.hornbill.com/index.php/Hornbill_KeySafe) Kind Regards, Menno Janssen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJanssen Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 @Daniel Dekel maybe you can shed some light on this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Giller Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would doubt it - an api connection can basically do everything a Full User could do, so to have one not attached to a user account would effectively be bypassing a license - additionally there would be no way of assigning a set of privileges, so it would have unrestricted super-user access. Which is kind of risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dekel Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thank you @DeadMeatGF, that is correct @MJanssen. All the APIs are protected by roles, assigned to users and that would bypass the security checks. Also licenses are linked to users so that would not be possible be cause that would mean that you can use all the APIs without any license. Thank you, Daniel.

Daniel Dekel Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 @MJanssen you could create a new user and name it something like AUTOMATIC_UPDATES and use that for your automation. Having that will mean that if that user let's say updates a request you will see that update in the timeline and you will know who did that. Many of our APIs require a user session and add to the timeline. Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
