    Creating Web Service credentials in Sage Intacct using the Role-based Permission Type

    Log into your Sage Intacct company with Admin access and follow the steps below to create a Web Services user to connect to Crunchafi Data Extraction.

    IMPORTANT: In order to connect Sage Intacct to Crunchafi Data Extraction, an Admin user must create a Web Services user with specific read-only access. These instructions are slightly different if your Intacct company uses Role-based or User-based security.

    To confirm that you are using Role-based security, follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to Company › Setup (tab) › Company

    2. From the General Information tab, scroll to Global settings and check the Permission type setting.

    Note: If you find that your company is using User-based, follow these alternative instructions.
