Introduction
This section describes BSS communication with User Management API
Authentication and authorisation
All BSS endpoints support API key authorization. The header named 'Authorization' with content "Apikey PUT_YOUR_KEY_HERE" must be passed with request.
In addition to API key authorization some clients can have IP white listing feature enabled, which will allow access only from specific IP's.
Both API key and IP addresses allowed list are customer specific data and you should contact support person to obtain those.
