Access setup overview

Unit4 Advanced Virtual Assistant (Ava) requires that users have access to a set of APIs and objects exposed on the customer's Unit4 ERP installation. This topic gives an overview of the general access setup required for Ava, and the access checklist lists the specific access that must be configured for the required public APIs and objects. In addition, each assistant specific implementation guide includes a description of the required access configuration for that assistant.

Public Web APIs

Assistants in Ava rely on access to public WEB APIs exposed on the customers Unit4 ERP installation. Granting access to public WEB APIs is done in the Public API access (XAG005) window in Unit4 ERP.

The assistant specific implementation guides specify which endpoints users need access to.

Object Access

Setting up object access is done in Unit4 ERP and consists of two steps for a user.

• The user must be granted access to the Objects Public API in the Public API access (XAG005) window.
• The user must be granted access to the specific objects required by Ava. Objects access is configured in the Object access (XAG002) window.

The assistant specific implementation guides specify which objects users need access to.

Access to attributes and attribute values

Setting up access to attributes and attribute values follows the same process as for other objects. The users must be granted access to the Objects Public API and have access to the Attributes and Attributes values objects.
