Users and Roles

If you want to integrate with Marketo via the REST API, you’ll need to create an API only user. Here’s how.

IMPORTANT

If you’re creating API Only users in a subscription that’s been onboarded to Adobe Identity, your steps are different and can be found here.

PREREQUISITES

Create an API Only User Role

NOTE

Admin Permissions Required

Go to the Admin area.
Click Users & Roles.
Click Invite New User.

Enter an Email, First Name, and Last Name for the API only user. Click Next.

note tip
TIP
Add an optional reason or an access expiration date. Access expiration dates are handy for short-term employees.

Select the API Only role and check the API Only checkbox. Click Next.
Click Send.

NOTE

The pop-up says, “An invitation is not required for API only,” but that doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong. It just means we will create the role without an invite email having to be sent.

Alrighty then! Now let’s go ahead and create the custom service.
