Create a client for a tenant

A client represents an application or service that interacts with a tenant by making API requests. To enable this interaction, you need to create a client and assign it appropriate roles based on the capabilities it needs to access.

This can be achieved either via the MATTR Portal or by using the Management API.

Open Platform Management in the left navigation panel and select Tenant.
The tenant management screen appears.
Click Create/Switch Tenant at the top-right.
The All Tenants window opens.
Click Switch next to the tenant created in the previous step.
Under Platform Management, select Users, clients & roles.
Go to the Clients tab and click Create new.
Enter a name to identify the client in the Name field (e.g. Tutorial Issuer client).
Select the required permissions in the Tenant access section.
Click Create to create the client
Make note of the displayed client credentials (auth_url, tenant_url, client_id and client_secret).

The client_secret is only displayed immediately after the client is created. Once you navigate away from this screen, the client secret will be masked and cannot be retrieved again. Ensure you save it securely at this point.

This can be achieved either via the MATTR Portal or by using the Management API.
