API Assistant user roles
Describes roles and permissions required to use API Assistant.
API Connect's user roles and permissions system governs the actions users can perform. For more
information about available roles and permissions, see API Connect user roles. A new permission, Api-Assist
has been introduced,
enabling the use of the API Assistant plug-in. To use
the API Assistant plug-in, you need the new Api-Assist
permission. A new role
called API Assistant User
has been added that has Api-Assist
permission, as well as all permissions from the Viewer
role. The new permission is
also present in Owner
and Administrator
roles, which contain all
permissions.
To configure API Assistant sources, you need Settings: Manage permission. To view the API Assistant sources, you need Settings: View permission. For more details, see API Connect user roles to view which roles contain the Settings: View and Settings: Manage permissions.
If the same user is setting up the API Assistant sources, as well
as using the VS Code plug-in, the Owner
or Administrator
roles
would suffice. However, if you want to have different users configure sources and use the VS Code
plug-in, then assign the API Assistant User
and Developer
roles to
the user. The API Assistant
role will let them use the VS Code plug-in, and the traditional Developer
role
would allow them to develop APIs and publish them into Sandbox.
