Control Center Configuration

Boomi Cloud API Management has an administrative dashboard called the Control Center for creating, deploying, managing, and controlling APIs and associated resources. It provides a centralized interface for designing and publishing APIs for external developers. Within the Control Center, you can manage various configurations, such as secure APIs, restrict access, customize the developer portal, and monitor API and developer key usage.

Design Menu

The Design menu provides controls for configuring API definitions, API packages, notification emails, response filters, and interactive documentation. You can create a new raw API definition in the Design menu of Cloud API Management Control Center and package it for external developers to consume APIs on the Developer Portal.

Administrators can also manage API keys via Control Center, including generating new ones, revoking access, and reviewing existing keys.

Manage Menu

The Manage menu provides controls for creating content for your developer portal and managing users, applications, package keys, organizations, portal access groups, etc. You can customize the developer portal from the Control Center to match your brand identity and enhance the user experience by adjusting various settings, including logos, colors, and other visual elements. You can also control the content displayed on the developer portal, such as documentation, blog posts, and other resources, including managing the length and content of blogs.

You can manage users by assigning roles with specific permissions to view and manage different parts of the Control Center. For example, you can create a Portal Access Group to manage access to specific API packages and Plans. Users can be assigned to these groups, granting them access to particular functionalities and APIs. Only Administrators can assign roles like API Manager, Administrator, Community Manager, Reports User to other users.

Analyze Menu

The Analyze menu provides controls to view API reporting information. You can view Call logs to track detailed information about API usage, including successful and failed calls, error codes, and other relevant data points. This information can help you analyze API performance and identify potential issues.

Administrators can also manage schedule maintenance periods for Cloud API Management via Control Center, allowing for planned downtime for updates and upgrades.
