Programmatic User \u2013 a Secure way to Work with the API<\/h2>\n

Programmatic User and API Access<\/h5>\n

External system integrations with Teamogy are implemented using the Teamogy API.
Access to the API is secured via an API token (API key).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each API token is always associated with a specific user in Teamogy and inherits all permissions assigned to that user.<\/strong>
From the system perspective, all API operations are processed in the same way as actions performed manually by the associated user in the Teamogy application.<\/p>\n

For this reason, the choice of the user under which the API token is generated is critical.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why not use a Personal User Account<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

API tokens inherit the full permission set of the user they are linked to.
Therefore, personal user accounts<\/strong> (e.g. company owners, accountants, administrators) are not suitable <\/strong>for API integrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using a personal user account for API access introduces the following risks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The API token inherits permissions<\/strong> that are often broader than required for the integration.<\/li>\n
  2. The token holder (for example, an external developer or integration provider) may gain access to all data<\/strong> available to the personal user account.<\/li>\n
  3. System activity is no longer clearly distinguishable between actions performed<\/strong> by a human user and actions executed by an automated integration.<\/li>\n
  4. Token management<\/strong> becomes complex in cases such as role changes, user deactivation, or security incidents.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For security and operational reasons, the use of personal user accounts for API integrations is strongly discouraged.<\/strong>
    Personal user accounts are not intended for API communication.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Recommended Approach: Programmatic user<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ text_font=”|300|||||||” ul_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”|40px|40px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ ul_text_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

    Teamogy therefore supports the use of a Programmatic User.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A programmatic user is a dedicated technical account intended exclusively for API access and system integrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Characteristics of a Programmatic User<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Fully separated<\/strong> from personal user accounts.<\/li>\n
    2. Hidden<\/strong> from standard Teamogy usage (not available in user selections, lists, or overviews).<\/li>\n
    3. Assigned explicitly defined permissions<\/strong> limited to the scope required by the integration.<\/li>\n
    4. API tokens<\/strong> generated under a programmatic user are<\/strong> easy to manage, control, and audit.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This approach follows the principle of least privilege:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      An integration should be granted only the permissions necessary for its intended functionality.<\/p>\n
