About user's permission while using API

Lily LiLily Li Tyro
in API

Hello team,

We have a user who needs to ingest data for all users into another application using a combination of SOAP and REST APIs. They've requested admin access in order to retrieve data across all users.

According to the API documentation, it appears that admin privileges are required for this type of access (Maybe I'm wrong). I’d like to confirm — is an admin account truly necessary for this use case, or are there alternative roles or permissions that would allow similar access without full admin rights? Typically, software allows assigning different roles with varying levels of permissions without requiring full admin access. However, in this case, I don’t see any available roles that can provide the necessary access. Appreciate any insights you may have.

Best regards,

Lily

    Hi Lily,

    Unfortunately, based on the information at hand, there don't seem to be any alternative roles or permission sets that would provide the necessary level of access to fulfill this requirement without using an admin account.

    Thanks Sanimar for the information. Do the SOAP APIs require an admin account for all operations? Specifically, for APIs like CreateRecurringReport and GetReport?
