# Driver API access

## Granting driver access 

A driver can be granted access to the application by explicitly setting the group **"Manage dispatch API integration"** with the role **"API User / Driver: API Access as a driver".**

"**Sales - User : All Documents"** is also selected here since operations to the order model is necessary for logging updates that the driver made in the app.

### For Developers

Only users with "**API User / Driver: API Access as a driver**" roles will be eligible for API access. Once the user is authenticated in the app, the API key for the user will be created for them.
