Portal Access Groups

The Portal Access Group is a group of Control Center resources (Plans and Interactive Documentation) and Portal Users (developers). You can use Portal Access Groups to provide role-based user access to resources on your Portal. The users in a specific Portal Access Group have access only to the resources in that Portal Access Group. The users can request Package Keys for API Package and Plans on the Developer Portal that are in the Portal Access Group.

The Administrator and the Community Manager can create Portal Access Groups according to:

  • Area:

    • Administrator: An Administrator can create, modify, and view all the Portal Access Groups of all the Organizations and Sub-Organizations and can add or remove users, Plans, and Interactive Documentation that belong to specific Organizations and their Sub-Organizations to the Portal Access Groups.

    • Community Manager: A Community Manager can create new Portal Access Groups and add or remove users in the Portal Access Groups of specific Organizations and their Sub-Organizations.

  • Organization:

    • Administrator: An Administrator can create, modify, and view only the Portal Access Groups owned by the Organization and its Sub-Organizations and can add or remove users, Plans, and Interactive Documentation that belong to the Organization and their Sub-Organizations to the Portal Access Groups.

Users and Portal Access Group

For Users and Portal Access Groups:

  • Users may belong to a single Portal Access Group in the same Organization.

  • Users may belong to multiple Portal Access Groups in the same Organization. They can then view the APIs (on the Developer Portal) in the multiple Portal Access Groups.

  • Users may belong to multiple Portal Access Groups of different Organizations. They can then view all the APIs (on the Developer Portal) in the multiple Portal Access Groups.
