M2M (Machine-to-Machine) users enable secure API integrations between Dataloy VMS and external systems. These automated users authenticate using client credentials rather than traditional username/password combinations, allowing systems to communicate without human intervention.
To create and manage M2M users, you need one of the following roles:
Administrator
M2MProvisioning
From the main menu, go to Setup → M2M users
The M2M users page displays all existing machine users with their names and Client IDs.
Click the "+" button in the top right corner to open the creation dialog.
Insert a username and necessary security groups.

Click Confirm to create the user.
Click on any M2M user from the list to view and manage its configuration:

The detail view shows:
M2M Name: The integration identifier
Client ID: The unique identifier used for authentication
Client Secret: The secure token (masked by default)
Security Groups: Current permission assignments
Business Units: Assigned business units
Provide the following to your integration partner:
