Adding Applications

Users with the Change System Settings permission in their Security Profile can add an application.

To add an application, click the navigation icon and then click the API link from the administration sub-menu. The API tab displays containing application security profiles and applications. There must be at least one application security profile before an application can be added. To add a new application security profile, complete the following steps:

  1. Click the button located at the top of the Applications table.
  2. A dialog box with title Add Application is displayed.

  1. Enter a valid Application Name. The name can be anything but it must be no longer than 50 characters.
  2. Select an application security profile from the dropdown list. This defines what the application is allowed to do.
  3. Optional: Edit the token lifetime. The token lifetime determines how long an access token is valid for. The default value is 15 minutes, which means the application will need to authenticate itself with QMS service once every 15 minutes to get a new token to access QMS REST API. This should only be changed when it’s required by the third-party application.
  4. Click OK to save the application
  5. A dialog box will appear when the application is added successfully. The dialog will contain the client ID and secret for the application, which is used to access QMS REST API. The client ID and secret can be downloaded as a text file if required. Note that the secret is only displayed once and it cannot be retrieve once the dialog is created. For instructions how to access the REST API, please refer to the API Integration Guide.
