Hi Team,

In my app, I need to execute a background task to retrieve information from several boards. These boards may be restricted to some users.

If I use OAuth user authentication to authorize the background process, the user granting the authorization might not have permission on the boards, causing the background task to fail.

Is it possible to configure a service account or app account to execute this background task without a user context?

Thanks in advance,
Carlos

Hey @carlos.fernandez

Bill here from monday.com :wave:

We don’t have any app accounts or service account user types i’m afraid.

What some accounts do is to create a new user (that no one logs into) and have that act as a service account and ensure that this user is assigned and has access to all boards in the account. This however, requires some maintaining to ensure this user is given access to all the boards created.

Cheers,
Bill
