By default, columns are sorted by time stamps, but you can sort them as desired.
After you create a new user account, the system does not grant the user access to any remote
resources by default. To enable access, you must create a corresponding user in the
Authorization server and assign roles using the Authorization server REST APIs. For more
information, see Create users and manage roles using Authorization server and Authorization Server REST
API Reference guide.
Note: Before using the
Authorization server REST APIs, you must authenticate with the OpenEdge Command
Center OpenAPI to obtain an authorization token. This token is required to access
the Authorization server OpenAPI. For detailed steps, see Log in to Authorization server.
Until you assign roles, the user can access only basic user management operations, such as viewing users and updating their own profile.
