Read-Only ITGlue API Access — Without Rotating Keys

ITGlue API keys carry the full access of the admin who created them. If that key leaks into an AI agent or third-party tool, your entire documentation stack is exposed.

The Problem with ITGlue API Keys

ITGlue API keys can only be generated by admin users. Even with the 'exclude passwords' toggle enabled, the key retains full write access to every configuration, document, password entry, and relationship in your Glue.

There is no way to scope an ITGlue API key to read-only. The key inherits the creating user's permissions wholesale. If an AI agent hallucinates a DELETE call, or a third-party integration has a bug, your documentation is at risk.

Rotating keys doesn't solve this. The new key has the same full-access permissions. The only real fix is a layer that blocks writes before they reach ITGlue.

Your ITGlue API key has the same access as the admin who created it — full write access to every configuration, password entry, and relationship in your Glue.

How GuardProxy Fixes It

Point your tools at a GuardProxy URL instead of api.itglue.com. Same API key, same headers, same paths.

GuardProxy blocks POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE at the network layer. GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS pass through to ITGlue untouched.

Your API key is never stored. It passes through in memory and is forwarded to ITGlue — then it's gone.

Setup takes 60 seconds. No code changes, no SDK, no key rotation.

your terminal

# Before — direct to ITGlue (full access)

$curl https://api.itglue.com/v2/organizations \

# After — through GuardProxy (read-only)

$curl https://cust_acme.guardproxy.dev/itglue/v2/organizations \

-H "Authorization: Token YOUR_KEY"
