A role is a collection of privileges that you can assign to users. To ensure that every user can access assets and perform tasks in an organization, assign at least one role to each user.
API Manager uses pre-defined roles to define access privileges for different types of assets and service features.
Before you use API Manager, ensure that you have an active Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services account, have assigned user roles through the Administrator, and have an API Manager license. To access API Manager, the user must be assigned both the Admin and Service Consumer roles, or both the Deployer and Service Consumer roles. If a new role is assigned, it is populated to the API gateway within 5 minutes.
You can assign the following types of roles to the API Manager users in Administrator:
