A computer system and method for managing a data request interface. The system includes a memory associated with the data request interface and coupled to a processor. The memory includes processor-executable instructions of the method for managing the data request interface. The method includes: receiving, from a first client device, a first signal including a primary authorization credential associated with a data record and a second signal including a request to generate an alternate authorization credential for use by a software module. The alternate authorization credential is associated with data retrieval constraints. The method includes generating the alternate authorization credential and configuring the data request interface to impose the data retrieval constraints for constraining data operations on the data record upon receipt of the alternate authorization credential. The method further includes sending, to the first client device or a second client device, a third signal including the alternate authorization credential.
