Configure ConnectWise Manage integration with less than Admin permissions

Disclaimer

The instructions listed below are an alternative to using "Admin" as the Role ID, when configuring the ConnectWise Manage Member for integrating with ConnectBooster. While ConnectBooster does NOT require "ADMIN" permissions, it does simplify and expedite the configuration process.

NOTE  ConnectBooster development typically tests with "Admin" type role access. This helps ensure future proofing, for any ConnectWise API updates or new features ConnectBooster may release.

NOTE  The configurations as shown in this video, represent the settings necessary as of 2/5/2020. Unless otherwise noted, there is no guarantee they represent a comprehensive setup after that point.

*Video Addendum*:

In October of 2020 ConnectWise released a new version which address a requirement for the “Inquire Level” of the “Report Writer” module found under the “System” section to be set to ALL. This is necessary for customers who wish to have the portal pull custom invoice images which are rendered using the new Report Writer options of Manage.
