Manage IAMs
BIM API reference guide
This page details the bim
API, which allows users to programmatically access information about users, their group memberships, and authentications. Most of the actions described here require ADMIN permissions.
Additional fields may be included in some responses you receive; however, these attributes are for internal purposes and are therefore undocumented.
BIM workflow
Because the BIM endpoint encompasses groups, users, and authentications, there are three workflows.
Users workflow
Groups workflow
