Define and enforce granular access control policies on specific resources for integration
users.

Machine identity access controls enable administrators to create granular access control policies for integration users. This additional layer of security allows admins to specify the exact resources (REST APIs, SOAP APIs, and tables)

Note:  
Applicable to users flagged with Web Service Access Only.
