Permissions (API)
The specific actions an API key or OAuth token is authorised to perform read-only, write, delete, admin. Best practice: grant automation credentials only the minimum permissions required. An invoice automation should never have permission to delete contacts.
How PURIST uses this
This concept is built into every automation we deploy.
When PURIST builds your automation, Permissions (API) is not an optional consideration it is part of the production standard. Our workflows are tested against edge cases, monitored 24/7, and built to handle what happens when things don't go as expected.
Every client workflow we deploy in the Security category is designed with this principle in mind from day one not added as an afterthought.
