Using the UI During API Development

In addition to the API, Locktera provides a web interface that allows developers to visualize and manage containers, access policies, and audit activity.

The UI is fully integrated with the Locktera CORE API and reflects the same containers and policies created programmatically. This allows developers to verify API behavior, inspect container state, and monitor access activity during development and testing.

The UI can be used to:

• View containers created via the API
• Confirm container UUIDs and metadata
• Verify access policies and recipient permissions
• Modify access policies for containers configured with dynamic DRM
• Monitor container access activity using audit logs
• Validate access behavior during integration testing

Library

The Library provides a centralized view of all containers associated with your account.

Developers can use the Library to:

• Confirm containers were created successfully via the API
• Retrieve container UUIDs for use in API requests
• Inspect container metadata and configuration
• Verify container immutability and status

The Library reflects the current state of containers managed through the API.

Reports and Audit Logs

The Reports section provides access to audit records generated for container access and policy operations.

Developers can use Reports to:

• Verify that access policies are enforced correctly
• Confirm authorized and unauthorized access attempts
• Inspect timestamps and identities associated with container access
• Validate audit logging during integration and testing

Audit records shown in the UI are the same records available via the Audit API endpoint.

Development Workflow Integration

A typical development workflow may include:

  1. Creating containers using the API

  2. Using the Library to confirm container creation and configuration

  3. Granting or modifying access policies via API or UI

  4. Testing container access from authorized and unauthorized identities

  5. Using Reports to verify audit logging and access enforcement

The UI provides visibility into container state and access activity while the API provides full programmatic control.

Shorter version (if you want more concise)

Using the UI During API Development

The Locktera UI provides a visual interface for viewing and managing containers created through the API.

Developers can use the UI to:

• Confirm containers created via API
• View container UUIDs and metadata
• Verify access policies and recipients
• Monitor audit logs and access activity
• Validate integration behavior during development

The Library displays all containers associated with your account, and the Reports section provides audit records for access and policy changes.

The UI reflects the same data and policies managed through the API and can be used alongside API development to verify system behavior.
