Service Accounts supported by Flexera One IAM API

Note:This enhancement is available with IT Asset Management.

The Flexera One IAM API now supports service accounts, enabling customers and partners to authenticate to IAM APIs using non-human, role-based identities. This enhancement improves security, facilitates automation, and supports scalable, maintainable API integrations. Using the Flexera One IAM API users can create, view, update, and delete service accounts.

For details on IAM API endpoints that support service accounts, refer to the Identity and Access Management API documentation. To make requests against IAM API endpoints, a service account must have one or more of the following privileges (as listed in the API documentation):

•

fnms:application:index

•

fnms:asset:index

•

fnms:device:create

•

fnms:file:show

•

fnms:inventory:index

•

fnms:license:index

•

fnms:operator:index

•

common:org:own  (grants access to all endpoints)

Once a service account is created by way of the API, visiting the All Accounts page triggers a sync process that creates corresponding compliance operator records.
