Modified on Wed, 13 Nov at 3:08 AM

Integrating Discourse with Josys enables the IT Admin to view and manage the user accounts.   



Key benefits


When you integrate Josys with Discourse, you can

  • View: List of user accounts, including their status, roles, and timestamp of the user account creation and last seen activity.
  • Perform actions: Deactivate, delete, and email to another user.


Note: Josys supports multiple Discourse integrations.



Prerequisites


Before you begin with the integration, make sure that you have:

  • A Discourse admin account
  • A Host URL and an API Key
  • A Team, Business, or an Enterprise plan



Locating the API Key


Step 1: Log in to Discourse using an account with admin privileges. 


Step 2: Select the API Keys from the Advanced menu. 


Step 3: Click the New API Key.



Step 4: Provide a name to the API Key for integration. Select the User Level and Scope, then click Save. 



Step 5: Copy the API Key to use later in the integration steps.



Steps to Integrate

Step 1: Select Discourse from the App Catalog in the Apps section.


Step 2: Provide a suitable Label in the respective field

Step 3: Enter the Host URL in the respective field. Your login URL is the Host URL. For example, if the login URL is https://abc.discourse.group/ then https://abc.discourse.group is the Host URL.
