You can control which proxies a proxy user can access using the proxy_user_access_type field and Proxy User ACL entries:
  • Unrestricted Access ("all"): The proxy user can access all proxies in your account
  • Service Restricted ("service_restricted"): The proxy user can only access proxies within specific services. Create Proxy User ACL entries to grant access to services.
  • Proxy Restricted ("proxy_restricted"): The proxy user can only access specific individual proxies. Create Proxy User ACL entries to grant access to proxies.
Use the Proxy User ACL endpoints to manage which services or proxies a restricted proxy user can access. See the Proxy User Access Control guide for more details.
