Authorization

From v10.16.1, End-to-End Monitoring provides you with user authorization options.

This authorization implementation has no impact on you as a user of an existing tenant. You are able to access the End-to-End Monitoring user interface as usual.

What has changed?

Policy enabled

Each tenant now has a policy that is introduced in IBM® webMethods iPaaS. This policy is enabled by default. If a tenant is subscribed to End-to-End Monitoring, then all users of this tenant are able to access End-to-End Monitoring.

Policy disabled

However, when this policy is disabled for a given tenant, then new End-to-End Monitoring roles start appearing in the IBM webMethods iPaaS administration console. As a user, you are able to access the End-to-End Monitoring user interface, only if you are assigned one of the following roles:

  • Account-Administrator
  • Cloud-Tenant-Administrator
  • E2eMonitoring-User

How to enable role-based access?

  1. Log in to IBM webMethods iPaaS as an Account-Administrator or Cloud-Tenant-Administrator. You are able to view all your subscribed products in the app switcher.
