How do I add User Privileges to access user data via an API?

Below are the steps for allowing a user to access your user database via an API.

1. In the User Manager, create a new user or find an existing user in the User Manager under Marketing in your dashboard.

2. After opening the user's record and scroll down to Privileges.

3. Select API-User Read and/or API-User Write by clicking the box next to each.

  • API-User Read: Allows the user to read information about users from the API.
