OfficeRnD allows you to grant third parties access to your organization's data. These might be developers in your organization creating a custom extension for OfficeRnD or a separate DevShop with an application that needs to interact with the OfficeRnD platform.
In both cases, they need a way to access data in your organization and to prove they are authorized to do so. This is where API Access comes in handy. (Read more on APIs here).
You can manage access to your organization's data under Settings > Data & Extensibility > Developer Tools.
For each external application that needs to access your data, you have to create a separate Application. You can create a new one by clicking Add Application in the top-right corner. The following dialog opens:
The following parameters are available when creating an application:
Name - the name of the application.
Description - description of the application.
Logo - a logo for the application. Usually, a logo is present when the application you are issuing a token to is from an external DevShop.
Read / Write - what level of access should the third-party application have over your data - read-only or full access?
Click Done to complete the application creation.
View Client ID and Client Secret
For developers to access your data, you will need to provide them with a Client ID and Client Secret. To view them:
Go to Settings > Data & Extensibility > Developer Tools.
On the Applications tab, click the cogwheel icon next to the application, then select View.
