====== Manual Authentication (API Authentication Action) ======

Passes or fails the authentication of an API call. 

===== Explanation =====
This action belongs in an API authentication procedure. This action allows the developer to either deny or allow access to an API.

===== Settings =====

==== Authentication Result ====
This is the result of the authentication and is either "Success" or "Failure"

==== WX User ====
As part of a successful api authentication the API processor needs to know what user should represent the currently logged in user.  If the user selected via the [[Query Builder|query]] can not be found at run time of the API call the authentication will fail regardless of the "Authentication Result" setting.

==== Failure Code ====
During an authentication failure you can create an [[Expression Builder|expression]] that contains the error code.  This code is used in REST APIs to help the API caller to understand the nature of the error. 

==== Failure Message ====
You can create an [[Expression Builder|expression]] that contains the message that will be returned via the API error mechanism.
