Access through a custom application

The Solution API allows applications to interact with the Device Portal. Applications can, for example, supplement device status data for one or more devices (e.g. SAP data or consumption information), update and query devices, and manage commands for devices.

In order to use the Solution API, applications must authenticate using OAuth2 access tokens issued by the Access Management (MACMA).

For the standard case (access to data and devices of the own tenant), a corresponding module can be created in the Access Management. Here, the user must possess the Module Manager role (e.g. the Tenant Owner group contains this role).

If access to multiple tenants (e.g. one’s own and a customer’s) is required, please contact the Device Portal Support. This coordination is necessary as cross-tenant access is only possible through the Device Portal Support.

The chapters:

describe how to create and configure a module and how the newly created module can be used to utilize the Solution API.
