Symptom
When attempting to retrieve call data records (CDR) via the API, a 400 Bad Request error is received with the following message: "user({userName}) does not have access to api category(CDR) for pbxId([{pbxName}])." The error code associated with this issue is 105-400-038.
Applies To
- 8x8 Analytics for Work API
Resolution
To resolve this issue, the following steps need to be taken:
- Licence Verification: Ensure that the user account being used to authenticate the API request has been assigned a licence that includes access to the 8x8 Analytics features.
- Access Level Verification: Confirm that the user account being used to authenticate the API request has been granted Analytics: Supervisor access to 8x8 Analytics for Work; this can be found in Admin Console, Users, Edit, Analytics for 8x8 Work, Allowed access level.
Once both the correct license and access level have been provisioned for the user account, the API requests for call data records should be successful.
Cause
This error indicates that the account used to authenticate the API request does not have the necessary permissions to access the CDR data for the PBX.
The user requires an appropriate license that includes access to 8x8 Analytics features and supervisor-level access within the 8x8 Analytics for Work.
Additional Information
It is recommended that the user's access within the 8x8 Analytics for Work User Interface be verified to confirm that the user's requirement for a license with analytics access and supervisor privileges aligns with the necessary permissions to interact with the CDR data through the API.
