Super administrators of an Enterprise account are capable of selectively scoping the API access. API access can be restricted for the entire account or only for specified account members.
Note that the feature does not disable API calls not related to the Enterprise account.
To restrict the API access for the entire account:
- Log in to theCloudflare dashboard ↗ and select an Enterprise account.
- Go toManage Account >Members.
- Locate theEnable API Access section and then update the setting.
Member-level settings will override the account-level setting. If a specific member has API access enabled whereas the account has the access disabled, that member can still call APIs related to the Enterprise account.
To restrict the API access for a specific member:
- Log in to theCloudflare dashboard ↗ and select an Enterprise account.
- Go toManage Account >Members.
- Click on the member to expand and choose the intendedAPI Access. If
Account Default
, then it follows the account level setting.
