Creating a VBS User for VBS Integration

Setting up a VBS User in Visma Business (not VUD), for Server Integration and Named VBS User

Contents

  1. Server Integration
  2. Named VBS User


This guide explains how to set up a VBS User so that the VBS Integration with BxLogistics works properly. This requires a VBS license from Visma.

Server integration

When integrating using a server integration user, you must also have a context user. In most cases, it is enough to use the standard "system" user as the context user in our setup. However, we recommend creating a dedicated context user if possible.

This can be useful, for example, to separate the system user's actions from third-party integrations like BxLogistics -- to track who did what in Visma, especially if multiple third parties are connected or if internal users are also using the system.

We will cover how to create both a Context user and a VBS user.
If you are okay with using the system user as a context user, you can skip to here and only create the VBS user.

Steps:

  1. Open Administration → User / Access → User.

  2. Create a context user in the Username column, and give it a desired name.

  3. Give the context user access to all Logistics modules in the Modules column
    (double-click to open → OK).

  4. The user also needs an
    Access group number - usually 1 - System,
    and a Company group number - usually 1 - Standard
You can also assign the user a password if desired.
👉 Remember to save after completing these four steps.

 

Next: Create the VBS User (Server Integration)

  1. Create a new user.

  2. In the Visma Business Services column, assign Server Integration to the user.

  3. Assign the user a password and click OK.

It should now look like this in Visma Business.
👉 Remember to save after creating the user(s).

Final Step:
Restart the Visma Business Services Host service. This is necessary for the new user(s) to work.

Your server integration VBS user is now ready for use in our setup.

Named VBS User

When using a named VBS user, you only need to create one user.

  1. Open: Administration → User / Access → User

  2. Create a named user in the Username column, and give it a desired name.

  3. Give the user access to all Logistics modules, and set it as a Named user under Visma Business Services → OK.


  4. The user should also be assigned the correct:

    • Access group number

    • Company group number

    • Default company number

  5. Set a password → OK


👉 Don’t forget to save, and the setup should now look like this.

Final step:

Restart the Visma Business Services Host service. This is necessary for the user to function.

Your named VBS user is now ready for use in our setup.
