Drupal
Quick Start

Create Technical Account

It is recommended to create a dedicated technical user for the connector which has a role which again has the permissions to access the needed content.

To create a role click Add role under ManagePeopleRoles:

add role

Then define the name of the role and save it:

add role name

To define the permissions of the role go to Permissions under ManagePeople:

view comments setup

This image for example shows which user roles have the permission to view comments. In this case it is only administrators. The permissions for the other content can be set accordingly.

To finally create a technical user with a role click Add user under ManagePeopleList:

add user

Then define the user and assign this user to a role. Next to other roles a user always has the role Authenticated user:

add user roles

Configure Drupal Modules

The connector requests the JSON:API with basic authentication. Therefore, multiple Drupal modules have to be installed. To do so, open the module tab (ManageExtend), tick the following boxes:

  • HTTP Basic Authentication

  • JSON:API

  • Serialization

and click Install.
