SOA Governance and API Management : Administering API Portal : Managing Users : Predefined Roles in CentraSite
Predefined Roles in CentraSite
Roles in CentraSite can be assigned to users or groups defined in an organization. Users or groups who have roles receive all of the permissions associated with the roles. CentraSite provides some predefined roles for you to use. You can also create custom roles as needed.
For complete information about the predefined roles and creating custom roles in CentraSite, see CentraSite Administrator’s Guide.
