Manage security codes

Security codes are used by an external program to access your domain's AODocs data using the AODocs application programming interfaces (APIs). Security codes provide access as a specific user or as a super administrator.

Important:
– Only AODocs super administrators can create security codes.
– Users with the granular domain role to view the audit log can't see security log events in the domain audit log.

Generate a security code

By default, security codes are available for 24 hours. After this period, security codes can't be used and are no longer listed in the table.

Note: You can edit the expiration date of your security code to make it available for more than 24 hours.

1. Click the Add button.

2. Select the access level of your new security code:

  • Super administrator: this allows operations with the security code by super administrators.
  • Same as user: this allows operations with the security code by the specified user. If you choose a super administrator email address here, the security code will be active but its scope will be limited.

Note: You can only add users in your domain.
