Creating administrator accounts that your applications can use

When your app makes calls to the 

BlackBerry Web Services

 SOAP APIs, the app must use the login information of a 

BlackBerry UEM

 administrator account to authenticate with 

UEM

 and authorize its use of the API. You can create an administrator account that is reserved specifically for your custom applications, or you can use an existing account.

Determine the administrative tasks that you want your application to perform, and identify the SOAP APIs that you want your application to use. After you identify the tasks, you can determine the appropriate roles for the administrator account that your application will use. For example, if you want your application to create user accounts, the application needs to use an administrator account that has a role with the Create a user permission. Select a predefined role with the required permissions, or create and assign a custom role. For the security and stability of your domain, you should use a role that is limited to the required permissions. When you develop and test your application, you can modify the role as necessary. To review the list of permissions for predefined roles, see the BlackBerry UEM Administration Guide.
