About Veracode user accounts

We provide two user account types: UI user, for human users that interact with an interface, and API user, for non-human users.

UI user account

A UI user account can access the Veracode Platform and the Veracode APIs. Account permissions are based on the user roles or API roles assigned to the account.

API user account

An API user account, or API user, is for non-human users, such as systems or services, that access the Veracode APIs. Veracode recommends that you use this account for automation. For example, you could use this account with the APIs to automate an application analysis that runs unattended and without disruption if you disable the account or it expires. Account permissions are based on the API roles you assign to the account.

You can create and manage both account types in the Veracode Platform and with the Identity API.

Keep your account active

To keep your account active, you must regularly sign in to your account. Users in the United States Federal region must sign in at least once every 90 days.

If you use your API credentials, but do not sign in to your account regularly, your account will be disabled immediately after your API credentials expire.
