Create a Liongard API Account in Kaseya BMS

This document provides detailed instructions on setting up an API-only user account for Liongard within your Kaseya BMS instance.

There are two steps to create a Liongard API-only user in your Kaseya BMS instance:

  • Tickets: View/Modify
  • Unknown Tickets: View/Modify
