Common Scenario(s)/Challenge (s):
API management within G2Mint allows the ability to limit (or revoke) access, enforce security policies, and track frequency of access by a defined User. More specifically, G2Mint API Management allows the licensed User to limit access of a Guest Use by Account (for example, a Carrier account may only access Shipments Tendered to them, or a Shipper account may have Read Only access to their account) or by Role (for example, a Broker’s Procurement Role may be able to create Carrier accounts, Contacts and Agreements but is restricted from creating Shipments). To go a step further, G2Mint can scope each issued API Key to a specific function, such as Rating (request and response), Edit/ Upload (Agreement and/or Rate Plan), Create (Order, Shipment, Load) and Tracking.
