Under the options for [Moturdrn] GW2 API + Authentication you need to set the Verified World and Verified Usergroup settings. It's also recommended that you modify the Key Name Prefix. This is used for generating unique key names to prevent someone who's harvested several API keys from using those to verify on the forum. Key names takes the forum of <prefix>-<uniqueid> e.g. GH.eu-52c91aa2ac614
Minimum Hours Between Key Checks - There is a cron task that automatically checks whether an account should be classed as verified, which runs every hour. This setting specifies how long has to have passed since a key was checked before it gets included in the cron for checking again. Reducing this value will cause each key to be checked more times in a day, whilst increasing this will cause them to be checked less. Setting this to 1 will result in every key being checked every hour, increasing the time the tasks takes to run along with resource requirements.
Maximum Number of Keys per User - You may wish to allow users to add multiple API keys. Whilst this application doesn't make use of anything beyond the Account scope, you could use this in development alongside your own applications for example to retrieve character data for each user.
Usergroup Permissions
There are 2 new usergroup permissions included with this addon.
