# Create an integration user

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> The API integration user needs to be created with a profile that allows it sufficient access.

**Option 1: System Admin:** This is the most efficient option.

- License: Salesforce platform or standard user
- Profile: System Administration

**Option 2: Custom Profile:**

- License: Salesforce platform or standard user
- Profile: API only or custom profile
- Provide access to fields either manually or through a permission set:
  - [Manual access to objects and fields](/v1/docs/salesforce-integration-requirements).
  - [Assign permission sets to users](/v1/docs/permission-sets) (available from motion package V2.177):
    - **Fullcast Import permissions:** View All access (objects listed under Import).
    - **Fullcast Export permissions:** Modify All access (objects listed under Export).
    - **Fullcast Motion permissions:** Modify All access to all Fullcast objects and fields.

> [!CAUTION]
> **Warning**:
> 
> Currently the integration authentication is not available within Fullcast. If API user access cannot be managed by Fullcast, the business partner will assist in setting up the integration.
