Adding the ODataV4 Role in Acumatica
The ODataV4 role grants a user permission to access Acumatica data via the OData 4.0 endpoint which is an integral part of the Calxa integration. It is not automatically part of an Administrator's permission set.
Step-by-Step: Assign ODataV4 Role
Log in as an Administrator
You need admin rights to manage roles and users.
2. Navigate to the Users Screen
Go to: System Management → Access → Users
(Screen ID: SM201010)
3. Select the User
Find and open the user you want to grant OData access to.
4. Go to the Roles Tab
In the Roles tab, click + (Add Row).
5. Add the ODataV4 Role
In the Role Name column, select ODataV4 from the dropdown list.
(If you don’t see it, make sure the role exists — see below.)
6. Save
Click Save to apply the changes.
If the ODataV4 Role Doesn’t Exist
Sometimes the role may not be present (e.g., in older versions or after a fresh install).
You can create it manually:
Go to Roles Screen
System Management → Access → Roles (SM201005)
2. Create New Role
Role Name: ODataV4
Description: OData 4.0 Access
3. Assign Permissions
Grant access to the screens and data you want exposed via OData.
At minimum, give Read access to the entities you want to publish.
4. Save and then assign it to the user as described above.
