Log in to your Pushpay/CCB account.
| Step 1: Click on Settings (blue box in image to the left) to open the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Click on Users (yellow box in image below).
Step 4: Scroll down to locate the user whose API you wish to modify.
Step 5: Now click on the name of your API user.
Step 6: The details page will open.
Step 7: Click on the User tab to update the user details.
Make a note of the username and password. You will need this later to update your integration in Display.Church.
Also, you will need to tell your API User their new password (if it is not you) .
Step 8: Click on the Services tab. You will see the list of API services.
To allow full communication and functioning of all the Display.Church features, it is necessary to enable ALL the 13 services listed below:
Enabled services
Mandatory:
campus_list
campus_profile
(identifies either Calendar or Groups data across your church)

RSVP:
add_individual_to_event

(used when a person RSVPs to an event)
Private Events:
individual_calendar_listing
(pulls in private events)
Locate each service in the dropdown list.
Click on the box to the left of the service name to enable the service.
Step 9: Make sure you have a check mark next to the 13 services.
Step 10: Click Save which is located at the bottom, right-hand corner of the Services list. Alternatively, look at the Actions menu in the upper, right-hand corner and choose Save this API User.
The screen will refresh to the API summary screen. You have now successfully modified an API user.
Now you need one more piece of information...
Look at the line ‘Your API URL’. Make a note of your account name. This is the word between the forward slash and the ‘.ccbchurch’. For example, in the URL “https://multisite.ccbchurch.com/api.php”, the account name is “multisite”.
