Hello Folks, 

One of our WORKFRONT user wanted to know if a way exists for WORKFRONT users to be able to access (issue calls to) WORKFRONT (SaaS) via an API key using tools such as POWER BI ?  


Any suggestions would be very much appreciated !

Many Thanks !

there is, but the workfront system admin would have to generate the API key on the user, and the user would have to be familiar with the workfront API. Also sounds like you can't do this if you're on the adobe IMS. 

The best practice would be to set up a separate account to do the calling, so that if the user's permissions change (e.g. transfer to a different team or leave the company) the pBI reports are unaffected.
