This is necessary to create and manage service accounts at the group level. ### **Step 2: Navigate to Your Group's Settings** Once logged in, locate the group for which you want to create the service account. Click on the group name to enter the group's context. Then, in the left-hand navigation menu, click on **Settings**. ### **Step 3: Access Service Accounts** Within the "Settings" menu, find and click on **Service accounts**. This section is where you can create and manage API tokens for automated processes. ### **Step 4: Create a New Service Account** On the "Service accounts" page, click the **Create service account** button. ### **Step 5: Configure the Service Account** A dialog box will appear, prompting you to configure the new service account. - **Name:** Enter a descriptive name for your service account. It's a good practice to name it based on its purpose, for example, readonly-auditing-tool. - **Role:** This is the most crucial step for setting up view-only permissions. From the "Role" dropdown menu, select **Group Viewer**. This role grants read-only access to the group's information. ### **Step 6: Create and Copy the API Token** After filling in the name and selecting the "Group Viewer" role, click the **Create** button. Snyk will generate a unique API token for the service account. **This is the only time the token will be displayed.** Make sure to copy it immediately and store it in a secure location, such as a password manager or a secure vault.   ### **Step 7: Enable Integration in the Nopsec Platform** 1. **Navigate to Integrations** in the NopSec UI and select the option to add the Snyk integration 2. **Enter Integration Access Info**: When prompted enter the following information and click the "Save and Connect" button: - **Connection Name:** Unique name for this integration - **Snyk API Key:** Paste the API Key generated in the steps above. - **V1 API URL:**  The base URL for the Snyk V1 API depends on your [Snyk regional hosting](https://docs.snyk.io/snyk-data-and-governance/regional-hosting-and-data-residency) and data residency, but the primary endpoints are: - SNYK-US-01 (default): https://api.snyk.io/v1/ - SNYK-US-02: https://api.us.snyk.io/v1/ - SNYK-EU-01: https://api.eu.snyk.io/v1/ - SNYK-AU-01: https://api.au.snyk.io/v1/ - **Snyk REST API**: The base URL for the Snyk REST API is [https://api.snyk.io/rest](https://api.snyk.io/rest). For users in specific regions, the following base URLs are used: - SNYK-US-01: https://api.snyk.io/rest - SNYK-US-02: https://api.us.snyk.io/rest - SNYK-EU-01: https://api.eu.snyk.io/rest - SNYK-AU-01: https://api.au.snyk.io/rest - [NopSec Platform 101](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/nopsec-platform-101?hsLang=en) - [Implementation/Admin Learning Path](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/implementation-admin-learning-path?hsLang=en) - [Analyst/Remediator Learning Path](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/analyst-remediator-learning-path?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Reporting](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/analyst-remediator-learning-path?hsLang=en#reporting) - [Workflow (Remediation/Exception)](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/analyst-remediator-learning-path?hsLang=en#workflow-remediation-exception) - [Insights](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/analyst-remediator-learning-path?hsLang=en#insights) - [Asset Management](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/analyst-remediator-learning-path?hsLang=en#asset-management) - [New Features](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/new-features?hsLang=en) - [Training Videos](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/training-videos?hsLang=en) - [Release Notes](https://support.nopsec.com/knowledge/release-notes?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.nopsec.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Logos/NopSec-logo-160x160.png?width=24&height=24&name=NopSec-logo-160x160.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.nopsec.com) NopSec Knowledge Base Copyright © 2026, NopSec
