Instructions
To create an API user, navigate to Automation > API > User Accounts
Click on Create new and you will be navigated to the New API User General page.
You will need to enter in a username, password and the IP address of the API user.
Note: The IP address is a crucial part of setting up an API user. By entering in an IP address, the user will only be able to send or receive information to/from CharityEngine form that IP address. If there are multiple IP addresses that will be using the API connection, enter all of them separated by with a comma.
Click Save and provide the API user with their username and password in a secure manner.
