Custom security role

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In cases when you don't want to use the Admin role you can create a custom security role, which we recommend doing.

In order to create a custom security role in ConnectWise PSA navigate to System> Security Roles and grant the permissions described below.

After creating a security role with relevant permissions assign this security role to the integration user (API Member).  Please note that an additional Manage license is NOT required to have an API Member assigned with a Security Role.

Step 10: API Member

Once you have created the API member the “Role ID” field must be set to the custom security role that you just created in the previous steps.  (This is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED).  Or to the ”Admin” role.  

Then follow these steps to create an API Member, it is recommended to name the API Member "Mobius" so as to easily identify it.  This Connect Wise article, How to create API Member and API keys is very helpful with this step.

Here is an example of where the custom security role you created is selected when creating your API member.
