Ensure the API user's role allows them to read/write leads.

Hi

thank you. you save problem again.

could you please tell me how to use custom role to do API job?

i follow document, create new user, new role, and add many right to the role, but i cannot see my user in "API Only User"when i install service in Launch Point.

so, i cannot user my custom-role, i have to use API(role), and now i have to add permission for it.

it's okay for now, but i want manage permission, i do not want all API user can write Lead. can i do it?

thank you!

You need to [1] create the role, [2] add a user to and during user setup make them API Only User and add them to the role, then [3] set up the custom service.
