   * For Crowdstrike API integration, the following permissions are required.

     * **Alerts: Read**&#x20;
     * **Incidents: Read**&#x20;

4. **Save Client Information**:
   * After saving the new API client, you will be presented with the Client ID and Client Secret.
   * The Client Secret will only be shown once and should be stored securely.
   * In case the Client Secret is lost, a reset must be performed, and any applications relying on it will need to be updated with the new credentials.\
