Ignition 8.3 API Usage Guide (via Postman)

Ignition 8.3 Early Access

Hi Jared,

The repo needs to be and is in the process of being updated but what it comes down is the permissions assignment of the token. To fix this you can create a token thru the UI with a write-level Security Level assigned. I've included steps for doing so below.

  1. Under Platform > Security > Levels, ensure that a write-level Security Level has been created. Access and read permission levels may also be desired and configured at this time. Example of what that would look like:

  1. In Platform > Security > General Settings, assign the write-level Security Level to Gateway Write Permissions and choose the "AnyOf" option (unless intent is otherwise):

  1. On the API token, assign the Security Level with write access:

At this point, requests sent using the API token should be properly authorized since write level access has been configured and granted. Please feel free to reach out again if you encounter issues or have any questions.

Thanks,
