Add, Modify, or Delete a Service Account

Background

Services Accounts allow you to support integrations that require the Client Credentials grant flow as defined in the IETF OAuth 2.0 Framework Specification. In this scenario, applications need a way to retrieve an OAuth 2.0 access token outside the context of any specific Procore user. OAuth 2.0 provides the Client Credentials grant type for this purpose. A unique client_id and client_secret is generated when a new Service Account is created. For information on implementing the Client Credentials grant flow in an application, see OAuth 2.0 Using Client Credentials on our Developer Portal.
