Steps
Request a Client ID and Client Secret from your local Salto Business Unit — these are not self-serve from the developer site
Authenticate using the OpenID Connect flow described at developer.saltosystems.com/ks/connect-api/authentication/, choosing the integration type (interactive vs. non-interactive/server-to-server)
Use the SiteUsers and Users reference sections to create or look up a user tied to a specific Salto KS site
Assign the user to an AccessGroup, then use AccessGroupsLocks to confirm which locks that group covers
Verify the change by reading back SiteUserAccessGroups for that user
Known gotchas
Client credentials come from a local Salto Business Unit, not a self-serve developer signup — expect a sales/support touchpoint before any API calls work
The Connect API mirrors the KS front-end exactly, meaning any change made via the API is immediately visible (and reversible) in the Salto KS web app, and vice versa — there is no separate staging layer
Salto Space (the offline, on-prem product line) is a completely different platform and API from Salto KS Connect — don't mix reference docs between developer.saltosystems.com/space/ and /ks/
