Managing Space membership

If Spaces are enabled in a Catalog, you can manage the members within the Space. You manage Space membership by adding new users to the Space and assigning roles to the users.

Before you begin

To manage Space members in the API Manager UI, a user must be assigned a role that has the Space Members > Manage permission. For more information on assigning Space permissions to a role, see Managing user access in a Space.

About this task

Note: You can add the same user to two or more Spaces and assign different roles in each, allowing a user to have differing levels of access in different Spaces.

Procedure

  1. On the Dashboard of the API Manager UI, select the Catalog that you want to work with.
  2. In the submenu navigation banner, click the Spaces menu drop-down arrow to select the Space that you want to work with. The Products tab for the Space opens.
  3. Click the Members tab.

    The Members tab lists the users that have been added to the selected Space, together with the users that have been added to the Catalog that contains the Space. For details of adding users to a Catalog, see Managing Catalog membership.

  4. Add a new user to the Space by completing the following steps:
    1. Click Add.
      The Add User window opens.
    2. Specify the user; you can search for, and select, an existing user, or you can enter the email address of a new user.
    3. Select the roles that you want to assign to the user.
      For details of the roles and the default permissions assigned to them, see API Connect user roles. For details on how to create your own roles, see Creating custom roles.
    4. Click Add.
      The user is added to the Members page, and an activation email is sent to the user.
    Note: You can subsequently change the roles assigned to a user by selecting or clearing the appropriate check boxes alongside that user on the Members tab.
    If a user was originally added either to the provider organization, or to the Catalog that contains the Space, rather than to the Space itself, the following conditions apply:
    • Any role assigned to the user at the provider organization or Catalog level is assigned automatically to the user in all Spaces, and cannot be removed at the Space level.

      For details on adding a user to a provider organization, see Adding provider organization users and assigning roles.

      For details on adding a user to a Catalog, see Managing Catalog membership.

    • In the Space, the user has the permissions that are configured for the role at the Space level.

      For details on configuring role permissions for a Space, see Managing user access in a Space.

    • Any role that hasn't been assigned to the user at the provider organization or Catalog level can be assigned at the Space level
