The Authorization server employs a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage access to systems and their resources, including the OpenEdge Command Center server, the OpenEdge Command Center agent, and the Authorization server itself. It assigns permissions to specific roles instead of individual users, simplifying the administration of access control.

You can create users and assign or remove roles for a specific user in the Authorization server using the Authorization server REST APIs. This chapter covers tasks, such as logging in, creating users, assigning and removing roles with examples, and frequently asked questions.

Note: The instructions in this chapter are written for Swagger UI, however, you can perform similar tasks using Postman.

Prerequisites

You must have the AUTHZ_ADMIN role to access the Authorization server and perform the tasks, such as creating users and managing roles in the Authorization server.
