The User Manager Service API is an API that relies on Principals to facilitate the handling of user actions and data in Genetec Clearance™. To manage users, the integration principal that is calling the API must be part of the Account Administrator group (Tenant administrator group for legacy systems).

For a complete reference, access the User Manager Service API.

Every access credential in the system is called a Principal. There are three types of Principals:

  • User: Any physical user that signs into Clearance from a web browser. These users can be part of groups.

  • Group: A group of principals that can be given similar access in the system. A group cannot be part of another group.

  • Service: An unattended user or service that is used to call the different Clearance APIs. A service principal can be part of a group.
