Issuing Plan Grants

Issue plan grants to users or groups to determine what actions assignees can perform with that API. See Understanding Plan Grants. Grants are issued per plan; repeat this task for each plan you want to issue grants for.

You must be issued the Manage Plan grant for a plan to issue grants for it.

1. On the Plans List page, select the plan for which you want to manage grants.
2. Click the (Grants) tab.
3. Click the tab that corresponds to the grant you want to issue to users or groups:
   • Manage the plan: Plan Manager users issued this grant are allowed to modify the definition of and issue users grants for this plan.
   • View all details: Plan Manager, API Manager, and Gateway Manager users issued this grant are allowed to view all details of this plan in the Management Portal.
   • View public details: Plan Manager, API Manager, and Application Developer users issued this grant are allowed to see the public details of this plan in the Developer Portal.
   • Subscribe: Plan Manager, API Manager, and Application Developer users issued this grant are allowed to subscribe applications to this plan.
   • Request Subscription: Plan Manager, API Manager, and Application Developer users issued this grant are allowed to request to subscribe applications to this plan.
   • Entitle: Plan Manager and API Manager users issued this grant are allowed to entitle APIs to this plan.
4. Click Add Grantee.
   The Add Grantee dialog appears.
5. From the Add Grantee dialog, select the user(s) or group(s) to which you want to issue the grant. You can select multiple users and groups.

   Note:

   You cannot select users or groups that already have this grant; they are greyed out in the Add Grantee dialog.

6. Click Add.

The user(s) or group(s) are issued the plan grant you chose.
