Content API Consumers

Background

This document lists known services which depend on the CMS and the Drupal users required to consume content via Drupal's API. For a list of all of VA.gov-CMS's down stream dependencies look here.

Users

Creating a New API User

  1. Discuss the need for a new user with the Platform CMS tech lead (currently @ndouglas) and propose a name.
  2. Complete/approve/merge any pull requests providing functionality the user account will rely upon:
  • roles, permissions, etc that should be assigned to the user at creation
  1. Create a task issue for the account, assign it to CMS Team and DevOps, and assign the tech lead.
  • include the name
  • include desired permissions
  • include any other information that may be desirable
  • any IAM users/roles/etc that may need access to the username and password
  1. DevOps engineers will perform the following procedure:
  • create a new user in Drupal
  • assign it appropriate roles and permissions
  • assign it a temporary password
  • create an entry in SSM Parameter Store for:
    • the username (cms/prod/drupal_api_users/<name>/username)
    • the password (cms/prod/drupal_api_users/<name>/password)
  • communicate the name of the user to you.
  1. Followup issue(s) should be opened for:
  • tests to ensure accurate roles and permissions
  • tests to ensure retrievability of the SSM Parameter Store values
  • additional functionality
