Authentication

This page explains the authentication process required to make a call to any endpoint.

To authenticate a request, you must include an Authorization header like so:

Authorization: Bearer {your_key}

The Bearer token is generated inside Logiciel Actif. Every user that have access to Logiciel Actif have their specific token accessible in the user management section. The bearer token has the same rights to the data as the user linked to the token. For example, if you use a token of a user who does not have the right to add new transactions, the create transaction endpoint will not be accessible.

To create a Bearer token, you must access the platform with an administrator account or an account that has the rights to modify other access. On the top right of the home screen, click on your name, and then click on Actif account management (Users management if not an administrator account). Then, click on the Users tab. You will now need to choose which access will be linked to the token. This is important because actions made through this token will be considered as if made by the user selected. The rights of the token will also be dictated by the role linked to the user selected. Once you have chosen the user, click on it. The token will be displayed in the REST API access key field.
