Prerequisites
Open Admin settings → Access → API clients. You neediam.clients.view to inspect clients or iam.clients.manage to create, enable, disable, and rotate credentials. The environment must have identity administration available.
Use one API client per integration so its rights, credentials, and lifecycle can be managed independently. Interactive AI assistants that act as a person use the AI assistant access flow instead.
Create a client
Choose New API client, enter a short integration name and description, and review the generated client ID. The name uses lowercase letters, digits, and single dashes; the client ID has theintegration- prefix.
Creation provisions three related objects:
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the result and store the secret in the integration’s credential store before closing the dialog. The secret is shown only at creation or rotation. If it is lost, rotate it; it cannot be retrieved from the list.
Creating an API client starts with a client identity. Assign its access separately.
Grant only the intended access
The result identifies the service user and group. Grant that group the permissions required for its work:- Application permissions for administration or feature-specific operations.
- Document access rights for the document types and operations it needs.
- Relevant record restrictions and Caseflow permissions where the integration accesses those objects.
The client list makes the enabled state and available management controls visible.
Rotate credentials
Coordinate the update with the integration owner, choose Rotate secret, and confirm. The old secret stops working immediately. Copy and store the new secret, update the integration, and verify that it can obtain a new token and perform an authorized operation. Rotation changes token-acquisition credentials. Do not treat it as proof that every previously issued access token has stopped working. For an incident, coordinate account disabling and session/token handling with the identity administrator.Disable and re-enable
Use Disable when an integration is retired or should stop authenticating. The managed-client operation also synchronizes the associated Insight service user’s enabled state. Review the result and investigate any reported failure before assuming both sides changed successfully. The screen does not delete clients; disabled clients remain visible and can be re-enabled. Preserve the dedicated group and audit context until you have reviewed all dependent access.Troubleshooting
