            Manage API Access

            Use API Access Control to manage access to your Salesforce APIs. With this feature, you can restrict all users from accessing your Salesforce APIs unless they’re pre-authorized through an approved (allowlisted) connected app. Or you can restrict only customers and partners from accessing your Salesforce APIs unless they’re using a connected app that is installed in your org.

            Required Editions

            Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
            Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

            To enable this feature, request API Access Control from Salesforce Customer Support.

            • Restrict Access to APIs with Connected Apps
              You can use API Access Control to restrict users from accessing your Salesforce APIs, unless they’re pre-authorized through an approved connected app. Connected apps integrate external applications with Salesforce APIs. With API Access Control, you can lock down all connected apps’ access to Salesforce APIs and then approve (allowlist) specific connected apps. Using profiles and permission sets, you can then grant users access to an approved connected app. These users can access APIs through the connected app.
            • Restrict Customers and Partners from Accessing APIs
              You can use API Access Control to restrict customers and partners from accessing APIs, unless they’re using a connected app that is installed in the Experience Cloud site. Connected apps integrate external applications with Salesforce APIs. You can select which connected apps to install in the Experience Cloud site to limit access to APIs.
