Developer Console

The MCMP Developer Console helps client-side technical users to run the APIs necessary to perform many of the functions needed for setup and administration. Additionally, all MCMP users can generate and revoke API keys and try out any of the APIs. Users with appropriate access permissions can execute any corresponding APIs. For example, System Admins can execute the APIs that correspond to their role, and Budget Admins can execute the APIs corresponding to their role. The Devloper Console also enables users to acquire a bearer token for temporary API access.
