Steps
- Create a restricted permission custom role
- Create a user to login and assign role
- Obtain access token
Why bother?
The Information Brewery doesn't want the usernames and passwords to your data. The Apigee management APIs allow the use of access tokens - which are used instead of passwords, they have no sensitive data in. We use these tokens instead to run the Apigee convertors.
You also need to be careful which access tokens you give us. If you use us an access token for an Admin user, then we might be able to sneak in. By creating a custom role, with a dedicated user, you will know that we can't use that token for anything else.
