You can create an OAuth 2.0 client to authenticate user data across apps.

You must be a tenant security administrator to create and work with OAuth 2.0 clients.

To create an OAuth 2.0 client:

  1. Select Administration from the top-left navigation menu.
  2. Select Security > OAuth Clients.
  3. The first time you open the OAuth clients page, select Enable OAuth.
  4. Select New in the upper-right corner.
    The Create OAuth 2.0 client dialog displays.
  5. Enter a Name for your new OAuth 2.0 client.
    The alphanumeric name can contain either ? or ! symbols. You can't use other punctuation marks or special characters.
  6. Select a grant from the Type dropdown.
    Either of these two methods can retrieve the access token:
    Authorization code grant:
    This grant type displays the client authorization request in a web browser or mobile app. You can approve or reject this request. If approved, users are redirected back to the client with a temporary code. The client exchanges this code with an access token.
    Device grant:
    This grant type is a type of extension. It enables devices without browsers or limited input capability to exchange a previous device code with a fresh access token. Device grant flow is disabled with single sign-on (SSO).
  7. Enter the Allowed callback URLs.
    We support up to 60 URLs. Examples: https://us1a.app.anaplan.com/login/callback?connection=myconnection or https://anaplan.com/example.
    Note: The URL field is required. However, in the case of a device-based OAuth client, the URL value isn't used. For example, you can use https://anaplan.com.
  8. Select Create client.

Note: If you choose Authorization code grant as the grant type, after you select Create client, a new dialog opens and displays the Client name, Client ID, and Client secret. Select Copy client secret to copy it, and then select Done.


To view the client secret again, select the OAuth 2.0 client from the main OAuth clients page. The client secret displays in the right-side panel.

Once you create an OAuth 2.0 client, it's enabled by default.
