The Veza integration for BlackLine enables gathering User, Group and Role assignments from the BlackLine financial automation platform.
Create a BlackLine user for API access
The user must have the API Role and be a System Administrator to make the necessary requests
Generate an API key for the user for the BlackLine API Administration Portal or Financial Close System
Request OAuth 2.0 credentials from the BlackLine customer support team:
Required API features: Accounts
Required scopes: bl_users, bl_mdm
Their team should return a PDF with the OAuth app credentials. Use this support-provided installation form to configure the integration on Veza.
