Customer API FAQs
Customers have their own tenant in the system, with storage for all tenants shared. Access to the customers tenant is managed using OAUTH for authentication and scopes. All data access is through API’s, the API’s have an established thoroughly tested security model that ensures scope of data is correct and limited to the customer, access is authenticated and access controlled. We use common industry standard authentication and access control patterns (OAUTH2).
