Permissions grant access to assets in the APIM space. You can set permissions for your APIs at the three levels of the asset hierarchy in the API Manager console, : the /apim space, APIs, and Versions. When you create an API, you can set permissions at the API and version levels. The Permissions tab for all three levels lists the username or group, its access type, and if it applies to all APIs and Versions.

Permission Types

As an Org admin, you can set permissions for users at the /apim space level in addition to the APIs and versions for users and groups. When you create an API, you can set permissions at the API and version levels. The owner of the API is automatically added as a user.

Access Types

The API Manager console has the following permission types:

  • Owner/Full Access: Automatically assigned to the creator of an API asset or version. Accordingly, you cannot select this option.
  • Read and Execute: Select to give access to view API assets and call API endpoints.
  • Read Only: Select to give access to view API assets.
  • Read and Write: Select to give read and write access to API assets.
  • Full Access: Select to give permissions to view, create, modify, and call API calls.
