Interfaces are access points for external users (someone using the system without a login).
An interface has the following configuration options
- Interface URL
- Unique name of the service
- How should the interface behave
- Wrapper
- Template
- Stylesheet
- Language
- What is the external user allowed to do
- Proxy user profile
- Allow UPDATE
- Allow INSERT
Using email tokens for access
A common usage is sending email tokens to external users.
Tokens will allow a certain user to update the content of a certain record. Usually these are tied together, where the email of the user is a field in the record.
Tokens contain a timestamp, so it is possible to invalidate the token after a specified amount of time
- Token expiry: Maximum allowed age of the token
Interface options
Control what happens after an update or insert operation
- Succes message: Displayed message (if not using questionaire interface)
- Failure message: Displayed message (if not using questionaire interface)
- Redirect: URL to send user to after updating/inserting their data
Extra security features
- CAPTCHA: User must take human test before using the interface (prevents robots from injecting data)
- IP filter: Specificy which IP's are allowed to use the interface (prevent users from known problem countries)
