Create API User account

We recommend creating a dedicated API user to separate your regular account from API activities.

Requirements and limitations

Only Root or Superuser can create a user with access to API endpoints.

API access rights cannot be granted to EBA Superuser, EMA 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.
