Authorization in JSON-RPC API

Any request to the Management Service must be authorized. You can get access credentials from your service provider.

In order for authorization to be permitted, your user account in Management Console must have API Authentication enabled. This can be done either at the time of adding the user account, or after, by editing the user in Management Console and enabling API Authentication.

More information on user types and permissions can be found here.

In a response to your authorization request (Login), you will get a visa. This is a required parameter for all further requests. The visa stays valid for 15 minutes.

Each response contains a new visa. You can use visas from previous calls to keep the visa chain uninterrupted. If the interval between service calls exceeds 15 minutes, you will need to repeat the Login request and start a new visa chain.

Parameter	Description	Type/Supported values
partner	The name of the customer you want to log in under	std::string String
