Add the RESTful API and SOAP API capabilities for Service Manager users

When Service Portal is connected to Service Manager, which works as a supplier to Service Portal, users must have the RESTful API and SOAP API capabilities to use all of the functionalities such as shopping, ticketing, survey, and so on.

The Service Manager administrator needs to add these capabilities for each user that needs to connect to Service Manager from Service Portal.

To add the capability words for a user, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Service Manager as a system administrator.
  2. Enter operator in the command line, and press Enter.
  3. Enter your search criteria and click Search.
  4. Select a user (operator) from the list, and then select the Startup tab.

  5. Go to the Execute Capabilities section, and add RESTful API and SOAP API to the list.
  6. Save the operator record.

Tip Next, you can optionally configure SSL between Service Manager and Service Portal. For details, see Replace the Service Portal generated SSL certificates and (Optional) Configure two-way SSL between Service Portal and Service Manager.
