Common questions.
What is a service account in Cardflo?
A Cardflo service account is a non-human account used by applications or automated systems to interact with the Cardflo API. It provides a secure way to grant programmatic access to your payment infrastructure without using individual user credentials, enhancing security and auditability.
How do service accounts enhance security?
Service accounts enhance security by allowing you to assign minimal necessary permissions to automated systems. This limits potential exposure compared to using full user accounts. You can also revoke specific service account credentials without affecting other system or user access.
Can I define custom roles for service accounts?
Yes, Cardflo's service account management allows for granular control over permissions. You can define specific roles and assign them to service accounts, ensuring they only have access to the API endpoints and data required for their intended function, adhering to the principle of least privilege.
