  • 1.  API Connect Reserved Instance - Configure IAM

    Posted Wed July 12, 2023 06:14 PM

    I have a Reserved Instance of API Connect, and I have configured the IAM and managed to assign some roles, to the users.

    Now my concern is how to map a role created in API Connect in the reserved instance, against the IAM.

    For example, I have a role called someViews created in the roles section in API Connect and I want to assign it, but that new role does not appear in the IAM, and the IAM when I assign a new role does not allow me to see as granular as in api connect.

    How can I assign a custom role in API Connect in a reserved instance since everything must be done from IAM and IAM is restricted in certain things.

    Hi Oscar,

    Currently custom roles are not supported in reserved instance - as per the note in the documentation:

    Custom roles are not supported by the IAM service, so if you create custom roles in API Connect, they are deleted the next time each user logs in and their permissions sync with the IAM service.

    https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/apiconnect?topic=apiconnect-ri-mng-users

    Could you raise this with details of what you are looking to do as an RFE so that we can ensure it is prioritised accordingly in our planning.

    Thanks
