DNA API ISV Subscription Confirmation

To change who can access the API keys in your company, follow these steps:

For security purposes, please note that this is a security change within your API account, and authorizations need to take place. Therefore, please allow sufficient time for this process to complete. It is an IT best practice to minimize API keys in any environment, and therefore, we recommend that you only have one set of API keys assigned to your ISV account. If you wish to transfer access from one user to another, please follow these steps:

  1. Elevate the person to a Named User (if they aren't already) within your DNA Web App account. Follow these steps to do this.
  2. Have the newly elevated user complete steps above starting with "Sign in to create your developer account". 
  3. In addition to the steps above, the existing API key holder will need to authorize the change for API key access in writing by submitting an ISV form here.
