Create service applications

Service Applications allow external applications to authenticate and interact with the AIS CONNECT API using the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials flow.

You can create and manage Service Applications from the CONNECT portal.

Prerequisites

• You must be logged in to the CONNECT portal with Administrator permissions.

• Your service must be active to create or manage integrations.

Create a service application

1. Login to CONNECT portal to generate the Service Applications.

2. Select Integrations in the navigation menu.

3. Select Service applications.

   

4. Select Create Service Application.

5. Enter a Name and an optional Description for the application.

6. Under Service Role, select the appropriate service:

   • Service — Select AVEVA Integration Service.

   • Folder — Select the relevant folder.

7. Select the role to assign to the application.

   

8. Assign the appropriate role based on your application's requirements:

   Role	Permission
   Data Source Reader	Read-only access to data sources
   Data Source Writer	Publish/write data to data sources
   Data Source Admin	Full administrative access

   If no role is assigned, API requests are rejected with an Unauthorized (401) error.

9. Select Create.

10. Securely store the generated Client ID and Client Secret — these credentials are required to authenticate API requests to the AIS CONNECT Service.

    Important: The Client Secret is only displayed once at the time of creation. Ensure it is stored securely before closing this dialog.

    

Manage an existing service application

11. Locate the application on the Manage Application card.

12. Select the three dots icon (more options).

13. Select Manage Application.

    

14. From the Manage Application view, you can:

    • Add additional service roles.

    • Delete an existing Client ID.

    

    Note: To delete an integration, select Delete Integration and confirm the action in the confirmation prompt. This action cannot be undone.
