Client Credentials

tip

When the Client Key is generated make sure that the credentials are either downloaded or copied. You will not get access to these credentials in later stage.

The JSON file should look something like this

{
    "Client-ID": "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "Client-Secret": "xxxxxxxxxxx",
    "Org-Title": "YOUR_ORG",
    "ProjectKey": "YOUR_PROJECT_KEY",
    "Environment": "YOUR_ENV_NAME"
};

ProjectKey and Environment keys won't be there in the JSON while downloading. They need to be updated manually.

  1. Place adk-service.json file at the root of the project directory.
  2. Roles determine the level of access and control that can be given to a credential. Depending on requirement and access needed, different roles can be assigned to the generated credentials.
Important!

When assigning roles to the generated credentials, ensure that only sever-side credentials has AdkAdmin role and do not give Admin rights to client credentials.
