Introduction
This guide provides an overview of the permissions and security configurations needed to integrate Datto Autotask PSA with Rewst. By following these instructions, you can ensure a secure and efficient integration, adhering to best practices for least privilege.
Configure API User Permissions
To utilize Rewst with least privilege, you'll need to configure a new user class named 'Rewst Automation' within your Datto Autotask PSA. Below are the general steps:
Create a New Security Level: Follow the steps outlined in Defining an API User to create a new security level with the necessary permissions.
Assign Security Level: Apply the new security level to the API user responsible for Rewst integration.
Webhook Permissions: If you plan to use webhooks, additional setup is required. Please refer to the Webhook Configuration page for detailed instructions.
Each API user has a tracking identifier that must be used when setting up the Autotask PSA integration. Ensure you have this identifier available when configuring Rewst.
