Web Service User

Purpose: Use the Web Service User screen to work with user names that identify an integrating system for web service requests. This setup is required.

IDCS setup required: Each web service user must also be created in IDCS.

Note:             Order Broker uses web service users only for web service authentication. Unlike Order Broker user profiles, vendor users, or store associates, web service users do not have authority to any Order Broker screens.

OAuth: If you use OAuth for authentication of inbound web services, the User specified here is the IDCS Client ID used to generate the token.

About external client IDs: You can create web service user records for a client ID defined in IDCS. For example, can create these records through the Edit Web Services window, available through Manage External Application Access. You should not delete these records.
