To Limit the Number of API Connections of Integrated Applications

On the User Types (EP202500) form, you limit the number of sessions (that is, API connections) used by each of the integrated applications. You can also specify a different limit for a particular integrated application as described in To Limit API Connections of a Particular Application.

Before You Proceed

On the User Roles (SM201005) form, create a user role that will be used by integrated applications. For details about user roles, see Configuring User Roles.

To Limit API Connections of Each Integrated Application

  1. Open the User Types (EP202500) form.
  2. Create a user type that will be used by integrated applications as described in To Add a User Type. On the Allowed Roles tab, add the role that you created in the preliminary instructions (Before You Proceed).
  3. On the Login Rules tab, specify the following settings:
    • Allowed Login Type:
      • API if your integration application uses the Login method of one of the web services API to sign in to MYOB Advanced
      • Unrestricted if your integration application uses OAuth 2.0 mechanism of authorization
    • Max. Number of Concurrent Logins: The maximum number of sessions (API connections) you want to allow for each integration application
    • Turn Off Two-Factor Authentication: Selected
  4. Save your changes.
  5. On the Users (SM201010) form, create a user account for each integrated application that can work with this MYOB Advanced instance. For each user account, specify the type that you have created in the previous steps and add the role that you have created in the preliminary instructions (Before You Proceed). For details about the creation of a user account, see User Access: To Add a User Account.
  6. In each of the integrated applications, implement the signing in to MYOB Advanced with its own user account (one of the user accounts created in the previous step). For details about the implementation of signing in, see the following sources:
