Manage Service Accounts
Service Account Administration
Administer access to web services and their individual methods by creating service accounts. Service accounts are also used in Integration Studio features.
When creating a service account, provide account details including user name, password, and email address. For each web service, specify which types of methods (Add, Delete, View and/or Edit) the account can access. Once you create a service account, a unique User API key is generated for that account. You may distribute the account name, password, email address, User API key, and Customer API key for the company to those developers requiring access to web services.
Manage Service Accounts
Manage service accounts from the Service Account Administration page.

Submit an Administrative Case to Access Business Intelligence (BI)
A service account does not automatically have access to Business Intelligence (BI). Before a service account can access BI via Reports-as-a-Service or Report Exports, your company's SaaS Focal Contact must submit an administrative case in the UKG Community Library to request this.
When creating the Administrative case to request a new user, ensure you include the following:
- In the Create SaaS New User Request section, enter a valid first name, last name, and e-mail address for a user.
- In the Create SaaS New User Request - Access Rights section, select Yes for Cognos.
- For the Cognos Business Intelligence Role, select the Security Administrator role
- After you create the case, include the following information in the Comment field:
- Instructions requesting the assignment of the UKG Pro BI Consumer role to your web services account
- The name of your web services account
