Configuration User Management
This topic is only intended for Boomi standalone tenants. User management in API Control Plane for Boomi tenants is configured in the Boomi Platform. Refer to API Control Plane User Management for information on adding new users to API Control Plane.
Overview
Each user belongs to exactly one organization and also has exactly one role.
For security reasons, only users with the origin "Internal" can reset their password.
Settings of a User
The Invite New Users option is not available for Boomi-managed tenants.
If you select one of the users from the table, the individual values of the user can be viewed and edited. The user can be deleted, unlocked, or re-invited. If a user is blocked, they can no longer log in to the Administration or Developer Portal (see Unlock user).
All relevant setting options are listed and described in the table below.
| Settings | Description |
|---|---|
| Display Name | The display name of the user. |
| The email of the user | |
| Organization | The organization of the user. Organizations and Visibility |
| Origin | The description of the user. |
| Image | The image of the user. |
Terms of Use
If it is a user who has registered via the Developer Portal or has been invited, they must accept the configured Terms of Use, which can be checked using the "Terms of Use" button.
Roles
For Boomi-managed tenants, it is not recommended to make updates to Roles in API Control Plane. Refer to API Control Plane User Management. If an Admin user's role is downgraded to a Basic User in API Control Plane, they will lose their API Control Plane Administrator role in Boomi Platform.
Billing Contact
Billing contact can only access the billing and tier configuration.
Basic User
A basic user can create applications, subscribe to APIs, and much more. However, they are not allowed to change any settings.
Admin
The admin is allowed to change all settings within their organization.
Global Admin
Although the global admin is assigned to an organization, they can set everything across all organizations. They can also move everything that belongs to an organization to another.
Origin of the user
Internal User Management
Users are managed using the administration portal that can be used to invite additional users as well. If the self-registration feature of the developer portal is used all users that registered themselves are stored within the internal user system.
Connect to your organization’s LDAP
The API Control Plane can connect to any user directory that makes use of LDAP. Logins to the administration portal are then forwarded to the directory. Using this option, no passwords are stored within the API Control Planes databases. However, you should always keep at least one global administrator stored in the internal user database, in case the connection to your LDAP is not available or needs reconfiguration.
Connect to a SAML identity provider
Using SAML you can connect the API Control Plane to a wide variety of Identity Providers like Okta, Ping, or Azure AD.
