Secure API Manager requires that you create user accounts for the developers or IT personnel who access and use the Publisher and the Store. You can also create additional administrative accounts so that the default admin account is not the only administrative account for your system. Secure API Manager stores these user accounts in a database on the Database Service component.
Secure API Manager also provides roles to help reduce the administrative task of assigning specific rights to every user. Secure API Manager provides a set of default roles. You can view all of these default roles in the management console.
IMPORTANT:For this release, the management console does not allow you to create any additional Secure API Manager roles. Secure API Manager comes with a set of default roles that provide all of the functionality required to use Secure API Manager.
The Secure API Manager roles control who has access to the different Secure API Manager consoles. The integration with Access Manager allows you to use the Access Manager roles to control access to the APIs and the APIs endpoints.
You manage the accounts, assign the roles, and view the roles through the management console. The administrators are the only ones who can create, modify, or delete accounts.
