About Authorization With Web Services

Oracle Billing Insight REST services server uses the same authorization scheme as the server provided in the Oracle Billing Insight Web application. For example, if a request is made on behalf of a registered user to the /analytics/accounts service, then only the accounts that the user is permitted to access are returned in the response. In addition, the Web service server provides capabilities that are not supported in the Oracle Billing Insight Web application. As a result, the Oracle Billing Insight REST services server provides more authorization rules. For example, using a REST services request, the CSR administrator can create and update companies, accounts, or service agreements.
