API Testing Project Settings

Project settings allow you to control user visibility permissions, set email notifications, delete projects, and edit details such as name, description, and tags.

What You'll Need

• A Sauce Labs account (Log in or sign up for a free trial license).
• An existing API Testing project. For details on how to create one, see API Testing Quickstart.

General

In API Testing, on the Projects page, under a project name, click Settings. On the Settings page you can edit project details (Name, Tag(s), Description, and Notes), and view the project's access setting.

Access

Access is assigned when you create a project. You can set the project to be accessible to your team (if you're part of one) or to the entire organization.

You cannot edit project access once it has been set.

User Scenarios

• New User (no team assignments or projects): When this user first logs in to API Testing, they will be guided through creating a project and a test.
  
  They will have the option to set organization-wide project access and will only be able to see the projects they created.
• Team Member: This user belongs to a team and can create and interact with their team's projects and organization-wide projects. They cannot view projects with access restricted to an outside team. When creating a project, they will have the option to set access to be team-specific and organization-wide.
• Organization Admin: This user can create and interact with all data in all projects across their organization.

note

You can also view access settings from your projects page.

Email Notifications

IMPORTANT

The email notification mechanism we have in place consist in an email notification when the test starts failing (the subject of the email will contain "Incident started"). A new email notification will be sent after 30 minutes if the test is still failing (the subject of the email will contain "Incident in progress"). This notification is sent only if your tests run less then every 30 minutes. As soon as the test execution passes, you will be notified via email (the subject of the email will contain "Incident resolved").

To enable email notifications:

1. In API Testing, on the Projects page, under a project name, click Settings.
2. In the left nav, click Notifications.
3. In the email address field, enter an address and then click Save changes.
   

tip

Use the Fact component in your API tests to control the behavior of email notifications. This can be useful if you're testing in multiple environments. For more information, see Fact.
