Configure API Access

An application administrator must enable API access before a user can use the REST API to integrate Primavera Cloud with data from external sources.

Note The actions a user can perform using the API depend on their security privileges assigned in Primavera Cloud.

To configure API access:

1. From the Main Menu, select Global Admin.
2. Select Privacy & Security from the list.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. In the API and Gateway section, select the Allow access check box to grant access to users or IP addresses.
5. In the Users section:
   1. Select All to assign access to all users.
   2. Select Only Selected to assign access to selected users:
      1. In the table, select the Add button to add specific users to the list of users with API access.
      2. In the Add Users dialog box, select a user, and then select Add from Available to move it to the selected list.
      3. Select Add.
   3. Select Save.
6. In the IP Addresses section:
   1. Select All to assign access to all IP addresses.
   2. Select Only Specified to assign access to only the specified IP addresses.
      1. In the table, select the Add to add specific IP addresses.
      2. In the Add IP Address dialog box, enter a Name and the associated IP Addresses.
      3. Select the Add button.
   3. Select Save.

      Note

      • It is recommended to create a specific integration user account to monitor data modified through integrations and to prevent integration failures upon inadvertent changes to the shared user account. See Setting up an Integration User Account for more information.
      • To delete a user or an IP address from the list, select the corresponding Context menu, and then select Delete.
