Hi Ofek,
Thank you for the post!
It's not possible to limit the amount of possible API Calls for users. You can only limit the entire access of a user (to change the user to a "read only" user). In this case, the user is only possible to execute read API calls on the devices to which the user has access.

Hello Moritz,
If so, can I limit API calls for the entire installation?
Thanks,
Ofek

Unfortunately, there is no way to limit the number of API calls.
