## Registering an application with Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

To work with Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager web services, a web services client application must first be registered with the instance of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager that the web services client will manage. Registration is performed on the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager server, and a Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager administrator account of any type is required.
