To use the API and view the API documentation, you need the following:

Skylight orchestrator appliance

If a Skylight orchestrator appliance is available for development purposes, you will need its IP address and a user account. Default administrator account: admin, 2admin$admin
If you need to install Skylight orchestrator (as a KVM or VMware virtual appliance), see the Administration material.

Skylight orchestrator user account with multiple roles

ROLE_WS: Has permission to use Web Services (WS). This is the role required to use the REST API in your client applications. At least one other role is also required.
ROLE_Admin: Has permission to access all Skylight orchestrator functionality (other than Web Services, the REST API, and the XML/https Export Interface). You need this role if you want to use all possible functionality in the Skylight orchestrator web interface.
Other roles: Your client application may not need full administrator permissions. You may want to create an account with the ROLE_WS and another role that has more limited permissions. For more information about user roles, see "Managing User Accounts".

Web Services feature must be activated on the Skylight orchestrator appliance.
