A Privileged User is a user who has an elevated level of access to perform various actions on a proxy API, such as publishing the proxy API to webMethods Mediator or configuring the API key settings.
When the user tries to perform a privileged action on the proxy API, CentraSite validates the user's ID to determine whether the user holds the necessary privileges, and if so, it validates whether the privileges are enabled. If the user fails these validation, CentraSite does not perform the action.
A user who belongs to the "CentraSite Administrator" role defines the privileged user for the proxy API in the CentraSite configuration file (centrasite.xml).
<Service id="DeploymentService" privilegeUser="INTERNAL\Administrator" requiredRoles="API Publisher"> </Service>
