Enable Trusted Access

Trusted Access is enabled by default in Composer. This enables you to create clients, and Composer to provide access tokens to authorized clients using Trusted Access. It can be disabled by a system administrator or member of the supervisors group, and another authentication method used.

Note: insightsoftware recommends using Trusted Access for all embed-related workflows.

If Trusted Access is not enabled, all Trusted Access client and token-related API endpoints return a 404 response code or a 401 unauthorized response code (when an existing token is used). In addition, the Trusted Access API endpoints are not visible in the Swagger documentation. For information about Trusted Access endpoints, see Trusted Access API Endpoints.

Enable or disable Trusted Access:

1. Log in as a system admin or a member of the Supervisors group.

   Note: The default supervisor user is no longer installed; add users to the Supervisors group instead.

2. Select Security from the menu.

   

3. Switch the Trusted Access setting to OFF to disable, or ON to enable.

4. Select Save.

5. Restart Composer. See Restart Microservices.

When Trusted Access is ON, you can register a client or generate an access token.
