Beta: Generating and viewing credentials for custom apps

  • Last updated on

The BarracudaONE API is currently available to certain users in a Beta implementation before being rolled out to all users. You will only be able to follow these procedures if you have been included in the Beta.

Generating app credentials to authenticate custom apps

App credentials are the Client ID and Client Secret that apps you create use to authenticate with BarracudaONE.

When you generate credentials for a custom app, you select an account for the app to be associated with. The app will be able to access the data from that account and, if it’s a partner-level account, all that account’s sub accounts.

Once you’ve created the credentials, you can proceed to develop your application using the generated credentials and the BarracudaONE API.

Credential persistence

App credentials are persistent and don’t expire or get hidden. Once you have created the credentials, you are always able to copy them.

Some users are not able to access the Client ID and Client secret. For partner accounts, users who have access to a sub account but not the partner account don’t have access to the Client ID and Client secret. Users with access to the partner-level account and also sub accounts can see the Client ID and Client secret.
