Create API user account
We recommend creating a dedicated API user to separate your regular account from API activities.
Requirements and limitations
•Only the Root or Superuser can create a user with access to API endpoints.
•API access rights cannot be granted to the ESET Business Account Superuser, ESET MSP Administrator 2 Root user, and ESET PROTECT Hub Superuser accounts.
|
A new ESET Business Account cannot be created; an ESET PROTECT Hub account must be created instead. New users can be added to the existing ESET Business Account. |
