Setting up API Users

The Firewall & API tab allows you to create a database user with read-only access to the API Views.  If you want to limit the user's access to data, based on the access privileges they have within Amplify, you can do so while creating the user. 

Please note that API users will contribute towards the Amplify license count.

To add a new API user:

1. From the upper-right corner, click on your user name or avatar and then select Administration from the list of options.
2. Scroll down to the Firewall & API tab and click New API User.
3. Specify the credentials as required.
4. Use the Linked User selection list to select an Amplify user profile to link it to. This option uses the credentials of the linked user profile to authorise the API user's access to the data.  If they do not have access to a particular area in the system, they will not be able to view the data in the dashboards. 
   Leave this field blank to allow unrestricted access.
