To use the BlackBerry AtHoc API, you must create a user (service) account with operator permissions. The service account must have the SDK User role and permissions to access the specific API module. For example, the service account must have the User Manager role to access the User Sync API.

Create the service account by creating a new user in the BlackBerry AtHoc management system and then granting the new user account operator permissions. When granting the new account operator permissions, select the Service Account option. For more information, see "Grant operator permissions to a user" in the BlackBerry AtHoc Operator Roles and Permissions guide.
