Setting Instance Level Permissions on an API
To assign permissions to an API
1. In CentraSite Business UI, display the details page for the API whose permissions you want to edit. If you need procedures for this step, see Viewing Details for an API. 2. In the action bar for the API, click Permissions . 3. In the Assign Permissions dialog box, select the users or groups to which you want to assign permissions.
4. Use the View, Modify and Full check boxes to assign specific permissions to each user and/or group in the User/Group Permissions list as follows:
Permission | Allows the selected user or group to... |
View | View the API. |
Modify | View and edit the API. |
Full | View, edit and delete the API. This permission also allows the selected user or group to assign instance-level permissions to the API. |
5. When you assign instance-level permissions on an API, the related objects (for example, bindings, operations, interfaces etc.,) receive the same permissions that are assigned on the API.
6. Expand the Advanced Settings section, and do the following:
a. To ensure that the dependent APIs (for example, a WSDL or schema) receive the same permissions, select the checkbox Propagate asset permissions. If you unselect this checkbox, the permissions of the dependent APIs will not be modified.
b. To ensure that the dependent APIs of the same object type receive the same profile permissions, select the checkbox Propagate profile permissions.
7. If at any time, you wish to remove one or more users' or groups' permissions, click the Delete icon next to the user or group name. 8. Click the Ok button to save the permission settings.
9. When you have finished making your changes, click the Save icon.
