HaloPSA Alerts Permission Setup
Follow our guide below to setup the necessary permissions to use the Alerts module with the Barracuda app
Setup
We will cover how to completely set up a Role, Agent, and application with all the permissions needed for billing and for alerts. We will outline below Alert specific permissions.
Create Role
Roles can be accessed by navigating to Configurations > Teams and Agents > Roles. You can create a new Role called whatever you wish, for example MSPCentric.
Press save.
Go to the permissions tab, and give the following permissions:
-
Clients Access Level - Read Only
-
Items Access Level - Read and Modify
-
Invoices Access Level - Read, Create and Modify
-
Client Contracts Access Level - Read and Modify
-
Tickets Access Level - Read and Modify
Navigate down the permissions tab to Ticket Permissions:
-
Can add new tickets - yes
-
Can edit closed tickets - yes
-
Can edit tickets which are not assigned to them - yes
Navigate down to Ticket Type Restrictions:
-
Allow the user of all Ticket Types - yes
Navigate to Client Restrictions:
-
Allow use of all Clients - yes
Save this role, then proceed to creating a new Agent.
Configurate Agent
Navigate back to the Configurations page. Now go to Teams & Agents > Agents.
On this page, we will create a new Agent. Press the New button in the top right.

Use the following settings for the Agent:
-
Username will be 'MSPCentric'
-
Select MSPCentric under Roles
-
Select the API-only agent option
-
Default Team can be 'No Default Team'
-
Work hours will be 'Default Working Hours'
Scroll to the bottom and hit save.
Create New Application
Navigate to Configuration > Integrations > HaloPSA API > View Applications.

Click New in the top right.
On the Details tab, enter "Application Name" with MSPCentric.
Set the "Authentication Method" to Client ID and Secret (Services).
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret into Gradient.
Set the Login Type to Agent.

Select an Agent to log in as. This will be "Gradient" as we created the Agent in the earlier step.
Press Save. Press OK if you get a permissions pop-up.
On the Permissions tab, enable the following permissions:
-
read:customers
-
read:contracts
-
edit:contracts
-
read:items
-
edit:items
