API Attribute

In OvalEdge, API access settings seamlessly extend to individual API attributes (fields/parameters with request and response bodies), eliminating the need for separate configurations for each attribute.

Administrators can view and update governance roles associated with API attributes, ensuring consistent and streamlined governance across the entire API.

Based on the selected Data Source (Connection Name), the corresponding API Attributes are displayed along with the governance roles, users, and roles with metadata and data permissions on those API Attributes.

Permissions and Governance (Inherits from API)

SGA and OE_ADMIN can manage permissions and governance roles for individual API attributes. However, these settings inherit from the API level by default, ensuring consistency and reducing configuration overhead.

Permissions:

• Individual and Bulk Management: Add, modify, or delete Metadata (view/edit) and Data access permissions for users and roles (including Governance Roles) on single or multiple API attributes.

• Role-Based Access Control: Based on the license limitations, define the level of Metadata and Data access permissions for specific roles.

• API Attribute Admin: Assign a role as admin for an API attribute, granting them the highest permissions (though inheritance from API admin typically applies).

Governance Roles:

• Inherited by Default: Governance roles defined at the API level are automatically inherited by their attributes.

• Override Inherited Roles (Optional): SGA and OE_ADMIN can update governance roles for individual attributes if needed, creating exceptions to the inherited settings.
