Service #

Service is like a tenant, each service has its own policies, user-attrs and roles.

How to create a new service? #

Just administrator can create a new service. Ask them to create a new service and make you admin of the service.

Interact with service using API? #

To interact with service via API you need to a user token which has permission to the service. It could be either user account or service account, doesn't matter.
To test service API you can use your own token which the login API gave you. If you want to interact with service in your application(machine-machine call), you need to a service account's token. To get a service account token:

• Create a client
• Get a PAT
• Use the PAT that you got from the previous in all calls to the Shield API.
