About: Best practices when creating Alta Video integrations

Last modified: Friday November 18, 2022.

For most integrations between your Alta Video deployment and your third-party applications, consider the following steps to maintain the security of your Alta Video deployment:

• For each integration, create a specific Alta Video user account that is only used for that particular integration.
• Apply the minimum Alta Video permissions and roles needed to enable the integration with the third-party system.
  If this integration is going to be used by others, then document the necessary permissions required for the user account to be used by the integration.
• Do not hard-code user names and passwords for the Alta Video user.
  Either read these from a configuration file, or prompt the user for credentials.
