Another question regarding the REST API. I've had much success using a TEST API ID and KEY created under my own account / email address. I can make the necessary GET requests and obtain the JSON response for all the devices that I can see within Logic Monitor.
There are OTHER devices / resources that fall outside what my individual account has access to and I've had our security / infrastructure team setup a logic monitor user account that has READ ONLY access to the other devices / resources. However when I login with that account and try to create a new API ID and Access Key, I don't see the ability to create a new one (there's no PLUS icon / symbol that I used before to create the initial / test key & ID)
Which leads me to the question: Is this due to the fact that API access allows POSTs to perform actions through the REST API so therefore READ ONLY will NOT be able to have access to the API endpoints? (i.e. a READ ONLY user account lacks the necessary permissions to have access to the API?)
Thanks for any light someone can share on this. Hopefully there's a way for my read only account to make API calls and get data, but something tells me it's a permissions / access rights issue where READ ONLY needs to be opened up to have WRITE permissions as well.
Thanks for any light someone can shed on this for us.
