api authentication

Added by Fidel Perez Celorio over 4 years ago

Hello there.
im trying to create Projects, WorkPackages, etc. using api v3. i tried APIKey (generated with an admin user) authorization but it do not have permissions. so i tried using oauth with user credentials to have the permissions and i can do everything. But when create a project the user creator is the admin user i authenticate through oauth so the same admin user. what i want to do is to create the project (or whatever im creating) passing the real user that is actually creating the project and not the admin user.

is there a way to get this done?

regards

Hi Fidel,

the user with whose credentials an API is authenticating will always be the creator of a project and work package. There is no way to use one account and create anything in the name of a different user.

Regards

What about using the apikey? Is the same case?

Hello Fidel,

our API documentation has been reworked and extended. You can find it here: https://docs.openproject.org/api/ I hope this helps.

If not feel free to ask here again.

Kind regards

Matthias
