Overview

An API User is a programmatic identity that authenticates with an API key. API Users initiate operations over the API. They do not use ApproverApp for day-to-day access.

An API User with a registered public key can also drive Automated Approvals by polling GET /api/cwp/approvals/list and posting approve or reject. Register the key with POST /api/cwp/operations/start/setUserPublicKey.

Create API Users from the Institutional Vault Settings menu. Only administrators can create or delete them.
