After creating resources for your API in Building the API, follow the steps below to expose the resources to authorized users and IP addresses (by default all IP addresses are allowed).

Configuring Access Control

Manage access to the APIs through the Web interface:

1. Click Settings -> Server to define the IP addresses allowed to access the API Server. You can also define Rate Limiting here. If you are connecting from a browser-based client, you will also need to configure CORS in this section.
2. Click Settings -> Users to create Users and their corresponding authtokens. You can configure user-specific rate limits here.

Authenticating to the APIs

After deploying the server and creating API users, you can then provide authtoken-based Authentication in your API requests.
