User Management

Service Accounts

3min

If you plan to integrate with your CI/CD system, SOOS strongly recommends adding a Service Account user for this purpose.

Service Accounts should be used instead of using an individual user's API key. Service Accounts are bound to the company as an entity. This protects against cases such as a user's API key used to integrate with a CI/CD system and then the user leaves the company.

Creating a Service Account

To add Service accounts first Access the Users Page.

  • Once on the Users page, click the "+" to add a new Service Account.
  • Add the details and set the Role to Developer or Security (to include the scan creation permission) and click Save.

Using a Service Account

To use a service account, browse to the Integrate page. Select the type of scan you wish to configure, then in the "Account" list locate the service account. The API key will be updated to the key for the service account. You can then select the key to use in your integration.
