SOA Governance and API Management : Administering API Portal : Managing Users : Predefined Roles in API-Portal
Predefined Roles in API-Portal
API-Portal provides predefined roles that you can assign to users and groups defined in an organization. You can also create custom roles as needed. Users or groups who have roles receive all permissions associated with the roles.
The following is a partial list of the roles and function privileges in API-Portal that apply to API users and administration. For a complete list of all function privileges that can be assigned, see webMethods API-Portal Online Help. For complete information about the predefined roles and creating custom roles in API-Portal, see the API-Portal User Management help, available from http://API-Portal_host:port/umc/help/en/handling/index.htm.
Predefined API-Portal Role
Description
API Administrator
Users with this role can start and stop API-Portal, manage API-Portal users, customize the API-Portal user interface to reflect the organization’s own branding and look and feel, and switch configuration sets to customize views in API-Portal. API Administrators can create and remove private communities and can also manage all communities. API Administrators can add and remove users from a community and define community administrators or revoke the community administrator role from a user.
Guest
A guest user is an anonymous user who can browse and test the APIs available in API-Portal. When a guest user decides to use an API, the user must register and request an access token.
Important:  
Do not change the credentials for the Guest user. Username/password credentials must remain guest/guest. If you change the guest user credentials in a user's properties page in the User Management Console, the API-Portal and/or its page components do not render correctly.
