Web Service Security

Use Web Service Security to restrict external access to the Netwrix Data Classification APIs. List the Netwrix Data Classification service account under Allow Only Listed. When you select Block All, certain Netwrix Data Classification functionality may be affected if there is API use.

Certain methods must be individually enabled for security reasons, such as GetSourceItemContent which lets you retrieve the binary content of a crawled item.

There are three modes available:

  • Allow All—No restrictions, all users have access to the APIs
  • Block All—No API use supported
  • Allow Only Listed—Blocks all API use except for those users (or groups) listed

Each mode is assigned to a specific grouping of service methods, you can see which API functions are affected by clicking the “View Methods” link and edit the security mode by clicking the Edit link.
