Access requirements

Required privileges

The Portal Administrator API requires privilege-based access. An administrator must be assigned a specific user privilege, or role, to access any given endpoint. Listed below are the user privileges or roles an administrator can be assigned that provides access to this endpoint. If multiple privileges are listed, only one needs to be assigned to gain access.


Tokens

This API requires token-based authentication. A token is automatically generated for administrators who sign in to the Portal Administrator API directory's HTML interface. Tokens generated in this way are stored for the entirety of the session.

Those accessing the API directory outside of the HTML interface will need to acquire a session token from the generateToken operation in the Portal Directory API. For security reasons, all POST requests made to the Portal Administrator API must include a token in the request body.

Description

The changeAppID operation changes the client ID of a registered application to a new value. When new applications are registered with an organization, a new client ID is generated for the application. This allows the application to access the organization's content. However, the new client ID does not work if the application developer has programmed against a specific ID. In these instances, this operation can be called to modify the client ID and allow the registered application to access the organization.
