Managing Interface Users

Prerequisites for Managing Interface Users

Each interface (OXI, OEDS, OFIS, and FIAS property interfaces) requires an interface service account created for interface authentication and authorization.

Interface user credentials are valid for 365 days from the date of creation or the last password reset date. A password expiry reset link email is sent to the Business Email address 30, 15, 7, 3 and one day before the password expiry.

Note:

Interface users can be created at the Enterprise, Chain or Property level (locations). It is recommended to use Enterprise level users with caution, as this grants access to all chains (tenants) within the enterprise.
