Set User Privileges for API Gateway

Users need appropriate privileges to access, create, and modify API Gateways. Without necessary privileges, users do not have any access and cannot provision changes. You can grant appropriate privileges via the User Manager.

To allow users to access, create, and modify the API Gateway, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the DCD with your username and password.

2. In the DCD menu, select Management > Users & Groups under Users.

3. Select the Groups tab in the User Manager window.

4. Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.

5. In the Privileges tab, select Access and manage API Gateway to allow the associated group members to access and manage API Gateway.

Grant privileges to access and manage the API Gateway

Note: You can remove the privileges from the group by clearing Access and manage API Gateway.

Result: Appropriate privilege is granted to the group and the users in the respective group.

Create and manage sub-users

For improved user management and delegation, you can establish sub-users and grant them the necessary permissions to use the API Gateway. Sub-users can be given varying levels of access for their segment of the logging pipeline by the primary account owners. Only the pipelines that the primary account owner has assigned to sub-users are visible to them and can be managed, but they cannot access the primary account or pipelines created by other sub-users.

To create sub-users, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the DCD with your username and password.

2. In the DCD menu, select Management > Users & Groups under Users.

3. Select the Groups tab in the User Manager window.

4. Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.

5. In the Members tab, click + Add User and select a user(s) from the list.

To delete an associated sub-user, click Remove User.

Create sub-users

Result: A sub-user(s) is created.
