Adding provider organization users and assigning roles

If you have the permissions that are required to edit users in IBM® API Connect, you can add users to your provider organization, remove users, assign roles and perform other user administration tasks.

About this task

You can add a user to your provider organization by inviting them to be an organization member; the user receives an invitation email with an activation link that enables them to complete the addition operation.

Procedure

To add users and assign user roles for your provider organization, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation pane of the API Manager UI, click Members icon in the API Manager UI navigation pane Members.
  2. Click Invite member.
  3. Enter the email address of the user.
  4. Select the roles that you want to assign to the user.
  5. Click Invite.

Results

The user is added to the list of provider organization members, and an email invitation is sent. The status is shown as Pending until the recipient of the email clicks the link in the email to complete the creation of their account, after which the status changes to Enabled.

What to do next

The new user can access the API Manager user interface. The user's authorization within API Manager is defined by the roles that are assigned to them.
