Users who will work in roles such as API Developer, API Analytics, Project Owner, System Administrator or manage the platform in Apinizer must be defined to Apinizer.

There are two types of users system-wide; User and Admin.

  • The user has only login authority in Apinizer and is only authorized to make transactions within the scope of his/her role(s) in the project to which he/she is added as a member.
  • The user with the System Administrator role has the authority to perform all operations in Apinizer.

The user can have different roles in different projects. For example, you can have API Developer role in project A, API Analytics role in project B, API Developer and API Analytics roles in project C. 

Similarly, different roles can be defined for different teams of a user.
