Understanding scopes Praxis Desk

Scopes are permissions that define which data an API access credential can read or modify. You assign scopes when creating an API access credential.

Available scopes

Scope	Label	Description
full_access	Full access	Access to all areas. Can only be granted by company owners.
appointments	Appointments	Read appointments
customers	Customers	Read, create, and edit customers
services	Services	Read services
company	Company	Read the company profile
locations	Locations	Reserved for future features
users	Staff	Reserved for future features
medicals	Medical fee services	Read, create, and edit medical fee services

Recommendation

Always grant only the permissions an application actually needs. If an application only reads appointments, the appointments scope is enough — full access is not necessary.

This principle of least privilege protects your data: if an API access credential ends up in the wrong hands, the potential damage is limited.

You can find the full technical reference of all scopes in the API reference.
