The Platform Integration User, sometimes called the System User or simply the Integration User, is an internal, API-only user that is being used for data integration purposes. This user allows Salesforce applications to securely access data on different properties.You can use the **Salesforce Integration** license and assign the **Salesforce API Only System Integrations** profile to ensure the API is enabled and the user is limited to interacting with Salesforce via the API.This user license is designed for system-to-system integrations. It may not be used for human users to access Salesforce data or features through any user interface.

_Integration User License_

One or more Salesforce Integration user licenses are available by default in Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions.  
  
Next, you need to create a new user with the following information:

2. Profile: Salesforce API Only System Integrations

Then, you need to update/add the permissions set for this user. Click on **Edit Assignments** and choose the permission set that you want for this particular user.

Permissions Set Assignments  
  
**_Note_** _: in order to get access to all standard and custom objects, you need to create a new Permission Set ( without a license) so you can choose which objects you want to have access to and whether it needs to be read, write, delete,etc._

Once you have assigned a specific permission set to this user, you will see it under **Permission Set License Assignments**.

Once you are done with the user setup in Salesforce, you would need to log into **myrapidi.com** and [authorize your Salesforce connection](https://wiki.myrapidi.com/wiki/how_to_authorize_re_authorize_your_salesforce_connection).
