API authorizations

In Infor LN, authorizations can be defined for the LN REST API resources.

The REST API authorization model is completely isolated from the (human user-oriented) Authorization Management System (AMS):

• The REST API authorizations are linked to the (invoker) Identity, not to the authenticated user.
• The REST API authorizations apply to the resource model (REST or ODATA), not to the internal data model of LN.

For more information about the relationship between API authorizations and the authorizations defined in AMS, see Relation between AMS authorization and API authorization.
