User Permissions

Click the icon on the left side of the Administration screen to open the Users page.

In this section, it is possible to view all the users and groups that have access to the API Manager. With access to appropriate permissions, it is possible to add new users/groups, remove existing users/groups, change Access Rights (permissions) of users/groups. Users and Groups can be added to other groups as well.

The tasks which can be accomplished with this section are:

• Add a User/Group
• Change permissions for users/groups
• Change password for users
• Remove a User/Group

The sections below demonstrate the working of the functions mentioned above.

Users

In the Users section, the Admin user will be a default user.

Admin User

Click the Admin user to see in which groups the Admin user is a member and what permissions an Admin has.

Member of Groups

The Member of Groups section has details about the groups in which the selected user is a member.

Admin user is a member of the following groups:

• Everyone
• Administrators
• API Users

To remove from a group, select the group from which the user should be removed and click the Remove from Group button.

Permissions

This section has the permissions available to the selected user/group.

To add permissions to the selected user/group, click the Add button, and then select all the permissions to be assigned to the user.

To remove permissions from the selected user, select the permission to be removed and click the Remove button.

Admin users will have all the permissions.

Changing Admin Password

To change the password of a user/group, select that user/group and click the Change Password button.

Provide the old password as well as the new password, and then click OK to save the change.

If the same user is being used in profile configuration to create MQ connections, then perform the steps mentioned in the Editing configurations after changing Admin Password section.

When user/group is selected, its details are displayed.

Adding a User

Click the Add button and add new credentials to create a new user.

Removing a User

To remove a user/group, select the particular user/group and click the Remove button.

Groups

This panel comprises of members of the selected group.

To add a new group, click the Add button, provide details, and then click OK. Click the Save icon to add the new group.

To remove a member from the selected group, select the member to be removed and then click the Remove button.

Partners

Partners help to create a collaboration of users, groups and other partners.

API partner

The default partner is API; click the partner node to see the list of members. In the Partner Details section, it allows to add as well as delete its members who can be a user, group, or partner.

The API partner cannot be removed/deleted.

Adding a user as a partner member

Click the Add button and add new credentials to create a new user.

The user with default permissions gets added to the Member table in the Partners tab and Users tab as well.

The permissions for this user can be seen by clicking the user name in both the tables. Modifications made in permissions for the user in the Partners Member table reflects in the Users table as well and vice versa. Similarly, deleting a user from one tab deletes the one in the other tab too.

Adding a group as a partner member

Adding a group works in the same manner as explained in the section above.

Adding a partner as a partner member

Use the Partner option from the Add button drop-down in the Partner Details: API panel to add a partner for the API partner.

When we add a partner to the API partner, the added partner gets added to the Partners table as well as API Members table. Partners do not have permissions.

Other Partners

This section explains about the partners added other than the deafult API partner, for example, the one created in the User Permissions#Adding a partner as a partner member section.

Adding user/group/partner as partner member

When a new partner is created, by default its members will be ADMIN, ADMINISTRATORS and a partner user (<partner name>USERS). Permissions of these members are created by default; click the member name for permissions.

For a partner added to the API partner or to another partner added, a user/group/partner can be added just like how it is added to the .

Unlike API partner, the user/group added here won't get reflected in the Users/Groups table but is specific to that individual partner. Thus, addition or deletion of user/groups and their permissions won't get reflected in User/Group tab.

Deletion of Partners

Partners cannot be deleted directly from the Partners table. Select the partner name in the Members table of the parent partner and click the Delete button.

On deleting a partner, all it's members (can be another partner also) will get deleted.
