Make roles and API scopes
Accessibility of Make API endpoints differs depending on the Make platform you use. On Make and our hosted cloud version, regular users cannot access the administration interface. Administration API resources are meant only for internal Make administrators.
In the on-premise version, any user with a platform administration role assigned can access the administration interface. These users can also access API endpoints that are meant for administrators.
Access to the Make API resources depends also on the scopes assigned to the authentication token. Some resources require more than one scope. There are two types of scopes - read and write.
Read scope :read
Allows you to use the GET
method with endpoints, usually to get a list of resources or a resource detail. No modification is allowed.
Write scope :write
Allows you to use the POST
, PUT
, PATCH
, or DELETE
methods with endpoints to create, modify, or remove resources.
Even if you are not the administrator, you can assign to your token the scopes meant for administrators. However, if you try to access the admin resources as a regular user, you will receive the 403 Access denied
error in response.
Administration scopes (only for administrators of Make White Label platforms)
Standard user scopes (for all users of Make platforms)
