Property name glide.authenticate.basic_auth.allowed_roles
Sys ID 3b727703459de3307574ea229d649079
Type string
Application Global
Default value snc_basic_auth_api_access
Description Allow users holding any listed role are permitted to use basic auth. WARNING: setting this to a broad role (admin, itil, snc_internal, etc.) grants basic-auth API bypass to every holder of that role and defeats the purpose of the gate. Prefer the narrow role snc_basic_auth_api_access or another dedicated integration role.
