Manage Catalog membership by adding new users to the Catalog and assigning roles to the
users.
Before you begin
To manage Catalog members in the API Manager, you must be assigned
to a role that has the permission for that Catalog. For more information on assigning Catalog permissions to
a role, see Creating and configuring Catalogs.
About this task
The Catalog owner can invite members of the provider organization work with the Catalog in the
API Manager. The invited users are called "Catalog members" and are different from consumer users
who are members of consumer
organizations.
Procedure
-
In the navigation pane of the API Manager UI, click
Manage, then select the Catalog that you want to work with.
-
Click the Members tab.
- To add an existing user, click . To add a new user, click
.
If you are using the Add member
option, you can add any user who is already a member of another Catalog, or of a Space, in the
provider organization, and is neither currently a member of this Catalog, nor the Catalog
owner.
- Enter the email address of a new user, or search for, and select, an existing user.
- 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.
If
Spaces are enabled in the Catalog, any role that you assign to the user at the Catalog level is assigned automatically to the user in all
Spaces in that Catalog. Furthermore, if a user had originally been assigned a role only in a specific
Space in a Catalog and you subsequently assign the user that role at the Catalog level, the
Space specific role assignment is lost and the user now has that role in all
Spaces in the catalog.
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 to the provider organization, rather than to the Catalog itself, the following conditions apply:
-
If you are adding an existing user, click Add. If you are adding a new
user, click Invite.
