Beginning in version 7.2, many system resources and features are accessed through APIs. User access to the APIs used by the various system features and mobile platforms is conveyed by a user being assigned either System Role or API all users role security profile, where these roles have been assigned security access to the various API Groups.

These two security profiles should be assigned the access levels needed for various API and system feature access. |
