Permissions

Manage system permissions, which includes the following:

• Access keys—With basic authentication, Pismo provides you with an encryption key pair (a server key and a secret key). These are the credentials your client applications will use to connect to the Pismo platform. You can view all access keys related to your organization and generate new keys.
• OpenID configurations—Add and manage OpenID authentication configurations for an organization.
• Permission groups— View API permission groups, which control access to each of the platform APIs. This is only applicable if you use OpenID Connect for authentication.

For more information about managing users, refer to Users.

Authentication types

The Pismo platform supports two types of authentication:

• Basic authentication with client credentials (also known as S2S)—This method is the most common among clients. For more information about basic authentication on the Pismo platform, refer to Basic authentication with client credentials.
• OpenID Connect for Servers—In this method, the clients will use a JSON Web Token (JWT) to perform the authentication. For more information about with OpenID Connect authentication on the Pismo platform, refer to Authentication with OpenID Connect.
