Managing Roles

You assign roles to users and groups to manage what actions people can perform in Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic.

In this release, each role corresponds to a group that is created when you create your service instance. To assign a role, you manually map each user to the group associated with each role. See Adding Users to a Group and Roles.

Note:

In addition to roles, you issue grants to specific resources (like an API or a gateway) to refine who can interact with each resource. See Grants.
