Introduction
There are two levels of access for end users of the Monsido UI:
Regular
Admin.
New users are created either by Monsido or by an admin user on the customer account. During this setup phase it is possible to select whether that user is a Regular or Admin. Admin users have a higher level of access.
Monsido also supports the opportunity to add API users. The instructions are linked into this document.
Regular User Roles
Regular Monsido users can view the data in the modules and receive reports for specific modules that pertain to their area of expertise.
Regular users can update some website data. See the User Guide articles on the various ways that website data can be corrected and/or edited.
View Modules
Regular users can view and in some cases interact with the information contained in most of the included modules, features, and add-ons. See the User Guide for the instructions for each module:
View Reports
Regular users can view specific reports that are assigned to them by an Admin user. See the User Guide for more instructions:

API Users
API stands for Application Programming Interface and is a connection between computers or between computer programs.
In contrast to a UI (user interface), which connects a computer to a person, an API connects computers or pieces of software to each other.
WARNING: An API token allows access to domain code. APIs are not intended to be used directly by individuals (end users). Only a programmer or developer should use APIs, when they need to implement the Monsido API on in other applications or CMS systems, for example.
Always verify the user identity and role before sending out an API token to an individual.
Monsido supports API use. The API can be based on the customer location, and so we have 3 APIs:
To use the Monsido API, your application has to present user credentials (the token) in an authentication software program (such as postman). The API user account can only be used for API access. It is recommended to create a new user account specifically for this purpose and assign the API user scope to it via the free-text field.
Note: This capability is not yet available to all customers, please contact support if you would like to implement API Users for your website.
