Understand Application Grants

Application grants are issued per application.

Users issued grants for a specific application have the privileges to perform the associated actions on that application.

Issue Application Grants

You issue grants to users to allow them to view application details or manage applications in the Management Portal or the Developer Portal.

Grants are issued per individual application. You must have the Manage Applications grant to issue application grants.

1. On the Applications List page, select the application 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 Application: users issued this grant can modify and delete this application. API Manager users issued this grant can also issue grants for this application to other users.
   • View all details: users issued this grant can see all details about this application in the Management Portal, or in the Developer Portal, in the case of Application Developer users.
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. Users and groups that already have the grant are greyed out and cannot be selected.
6. Click Add.
