Creating a User Type for API with minimal permissions | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi I am trying to create a User Type for API set up that would allow response data to be accessed, but not allow creation of surveys or distributions. Does anyone have a template of what permissions should be enabled and disabled for this type of API user?

Hi Maureen,

We have the same requirement. how did you solve it?

Best regards
Fabio

Hello Fabio,
This was set up awhile ago and we don't use the API that I am aware of at this time. However, I think we leveraged Qualtrics Support to help with this set up.
New User Type created for API Access:
General Tab - only areas Enabled are:
a. Project Permissions - Customer Experience
b. Account Permissions - Access API, Collaborate Projects, Download Survey Reports, Use Qualtrics Tickets, Use CX Dashboards, Use Response Weighting, Manage Actions Across Projects, Access Data & Analysis
c. Survey Permissions - View Survey Results, View Response ID, View Restricted Data, Customize Theme, View Text Analysis
Survey Platform Tab - only areas Enabled are:
a. Project Permissions - Customer Experience Survey Project, Survey Platform
b. Survey Permissions - Download Survey Results, Use Quotas, Manage Screen-outs, Filter Survey Results, Use Flow Control Logic
Under Contacts tab - all areas Disabled
Thank you,
Maureen
