Creating administrator users for the Developer Portal
You can create additional administrator users for an Developer Portal.
Before you begin
You must have administrator access to the Developer Portal to complete this task.
About this task
After you enable a Developer Portal site in the API Manager, you are sent an email that contains a one-time log in link for the Developer Portal site Admin user. The Admin user can administer the Content Management System (CMS) capabilities of the Developer Portal. For more information about enabling a site, see Creating and configuring Catalogs.
However, you can also create additional administrative roles for users from within the Developer Portal by assigning the role to users that have access to the Developer Portal. A user with an Administrator role can use the administrator dashboard to customize and configure the Developer Portal. An Administrator is able to perform any task within the Developer Portal that does not involve the creation of APIs, Products, and Apps. You should be careful to ensure that only trusted users are given this access and level of control of your site.
Procedure
To create additional administrative users, complete the following steps:
- If the administrator dashboard is not displayed, click Manage to display it.
- Click People in the administrator dashboard.
- Select the List tab.
- Select the check boxes for the target users.
- From the drop-down list under the Action heading, select Add the Administrator role to the selected user(s).
- Click Apply to selected items.
