OAuth integration for third party developers

[pacohh]

Similar issue to AdobeDocs/analytics-2.0-apis#23

We are a third party developer and we want to create reporting solutions for our clients. Currently we are using the outdated WSSE header, but we want to move to OAuth 2 to support SSO accounts.

Do I understand correctly that us, as a third party developer that isn't directly an Adobe Analytics customers, cannot create an OAuth application?

If so what is the recommended approach for third party developers? We can certainly not be expected to ask each of our clients to themselves create an OAuth application?

@stevja1 I hope it's alright to ping you.

Hi @pacohh

Sorry for not responding sooner. Currently, we don’t support third parties via 3-legged oauth for the new apis. We’re aware that this is a very important use case and are working to get this workflow prioritized. I don’t have a timeline yet that I can share yet but will pass this request along and see if we can draw more attention to this.

I'm interested in such functionality as well, subscribing to this post.

With the current Adobe Admin Console, an organization can add you as a developer and give you the necessary permissions to authenticate. See https://developer.adobe.com/analytics-apis/docs/1.4/guides/ (specifically the permissions section) so that you can obtain the right permissions.
