Altium 365 - How do I link my account?

​

Overview

To authenticate with Altium 365, you need:

1. Region — the Altium 365 region your Workspace is hosted in.
2. Realm — the Altium Identity server for your Workspace: Altium 365 or Altium 365 GovCloud.
3. Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh Token — refresh token credentials created in your Workspace.

This guide will show you how to find them.

​

Prerequisites

• An Altium 365 Workspace with access to the Altium 365 API. The API is in Closed Beta and available only to selected early-access customers.
• A Workspace administrator account. Only Workspace administrators can create tokens.

​

Step 1: Select your region and realm

Select the Region your Workspace is hosted in. If you’re not sure, ask your Altium 365 administrator. Then select the Realm that matches it:

​

Step 2: Create a refresh token

1. In your Workspace, go to Admin → Developer.
2. Create a token and select the refresh token option. Set its lifetime (up to 1 year).
3. Copy the Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh Token. They are shown only once, and Altium can’t show them again after you leave the page.

Nango exchanges the refresh token for short-lived access tokens and gets a new one when each expires. When the refresh token itself expires, create new credentials in Admin → Developer and update your connection. See Using a Refresh Token for details.

​

Step 3: Enter your details in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Altium 365.
2. Select your Region and Realm, then enter your Client ID, Client Secret and Refresh Token.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to Altium 365.
