Connecting ConnectWise Manage
Register Gradient
Upon initial registration of your new account in Gradient, you will select ConnectWise PSA and click Next. You will then be presented with a connection checklist. Please gather these items before progressing to the next page.
Create Security Role
Login to ConnectWise Manage
Navigate to System > Security Roles.
Create a new Security Role with the following permissions:
- Expand Companies and grant Inquire to Company Maintenance
- Expand Finance and grant Inquire to Agreement Sales
- Within Finance, grant Add, Edit, and Inquire to Agreements.
- Select Customize for Agreements, and ensure all sections are set to Allow(left side box).
- Expand Procurement and grant Inquire to Product Catalog and Products.
- Expand Service Desk and grant Add, Edit, and Inquire to Close Service Tickets, Merge Tickets, and Service Tickets.
- Expand System and Grant Add, and Inquire to Table Setup.
- Select Customize for Table Setup and ensure "Company / Company Status", "Company / Company Type," "Invoicing / Billing Cycle," and "Service / Service Board" is set to Allow(left side box).
Make sure to Save your settings.
Do you need to limit the agreement types you sync? You can do this via the security role by adding or removing them. If you remove agreement types that were previously synced, you may need to reach out to support to have your account cleared and a fresh sync.
Create API Member
Navigate to System > Members > API Members tab and create a new API member and assign the newly created Security Role, then save the member.
Create and Input Keys
Select your new API Member from the API Members tab, and then navigate to the API Keys tab. Create a new API Key and add a description.
Click Save and keep a record of the Public and Private Keys that are created.
Keep a record of the Company ID, URL (https://example.connectwise.com), and both the Public and Private API Keys ready for the next step.
Return to Gradient, and input your Public Key, Company ID, Private Key, and URL into the Setup Wizard, then select Save and Test. The wizard will run the initial sync, which may take a few minutes, before prompting you to continue to your dashboard.
Congratulations, you've successfully connected your PSA!
