Authorized CentraSite User Accessing API as Logged-On User
You must at least have the instance-level View permission for the specified API. If your user account belongs to a role that has either the Manage Assets, Create Assets, Modify Assets or View Assets permission for an organization, you automatically have permission to register as consumer for all APIs in that particular organization.
1. Specify the API Key or OAuth2 client credentials.
2. In the Consumer Name field, specify your CentraSite username.
3. Select the Email me checkbox in order to receive auto-generated workflow notifications, and then specify your email address.
4. Enter a reason to request the API for consumption.
5. If the API's policy governance rule includes one or more "Evalaute" actions, you will see the
Consumer Identifier field. Enter your consumer identifier, by which the provider will recognize your messages at run time. For details, see
Configuring the Consumer Identification Profile.
6. Click Consume.
A request is sent to the designated approvers. Upon approval, a request for consumption of the selected API will be sent to the provider of the API, who will then generate the API key / OAuth2 client credentials.
Once approved, the API consumption request will be processed and a notification will be sent to you at the specified email address.
If an approval workflow is not defined for the API, the API key / OAuth2 credentials is generated immediately.
