Authorizing the Endpoints

Create/Define Integration Users

For Accela Civic Platform:
Velosimo requires a named user within Accela that has Full Access to FID 0364.

Although not required, the best practice is to create a "SharePoint Integration" user. The Accela user that is used during the authorization process will appear in Accela as the user that took action, like uploading a file from SharePoint to Accela. For audit purposes, it would be more informative to have the integration user identified for the actions that are taken by the integration.

FID 0364 provides access for the integration user to access Construct API, which is the method in which velosimo is connected to Accela.

Please remember to select the correct Accela tenant when prompted (TEST/SUPP/PROD) during the login process.
