This guide explains how to create or edit a user account in ProdSys, assign roles, and generate an API token for integration purposes.
1. Open the User Account
Open the ProdSys App
Select employees
2. Enter or Update Basic Information
Press plus button to add a new Employee
Name: Provide a descriptive name for the account (e.g., API Account).
Email: Specify the email address linked to the account (e.g., api@prodsys.no).
Company and User number are set according to your organization’s configuration.
2. Assign the account as a user in ProdSys
Navigate to the User section in the admin interface. System / User
Press Pluss button to add the employee "API Account" as a user
Locate the user you want to set up for API access (or create a new one).
Ensure the Active checkbox is selected so the account is enabled.
3. Assign Roles (Access Permissions)
Under Roles, select the access levels the API account should have:
Examples of roles to be used
Web API USER – for API usage.
4. Set an Expiration Date
Specify how long the token will remain valid.
For long-term access, you can set a distant date (e.g., 01/01/2038).
5. Generate the Token
Click Generate token.
The system will create a token string, displayed in the Token field.
Copy the token using the copy icon – store it securely, as it functions like a password.
The token will be used in your API calls for authentication.
6. Save the Changes
Click Save to confirm and store the roles and token with the user account.
7. Use the Token in API Requests
Include the token in your requests to the ProdSys API.
Example (HTTP header):
httpKopierRedigerAuthorization: Bearer M2owDzhqK4GFcuSbyklPv0PSLC8T...
Keep the token secret to prevent unauthorized access.
