Netmore Connect provides two distinct ways to access and interact with the platform: through Users and API Keys. Each serves a different purpose, suited for different types of access and integration needs.
User
Users are human-operated accounts intended for interactive use via the web-based user interface (UI).
Key Characteristics:
Login using a username and password
Can access the Netmore Connect UI
May use OTP (Two-Factor Authentication) for added security
Can receive email notifications (e.g., disturbances, release notes)
API Keys
API Keys are system-generated credentials used to programmatically access the REST API.
Key Characteristics:
Created through the UI under a specific customer context
Used to generate API tokens (via OAuth-like flows or static headers)
Cannot log in to the UI
Do not expire unless manually revoked or deleted
Can be scoped by customer for access isolation
Stored securely in the platform backend
