Apiman 1.2 - Introduction to User Roles in apiman

The same holds true for user memberships as users can be members of multiple organizations. Permissions in apiman are role based.

An Impatient New User’s Introduction to API Management with JBoss apiman 1.0

Software application development models are evolutionary things. New technologies are always being created and require new approaches. It’s frequently the case today, that a service oriented architecture (SOA) model is used and that the end product is a software service that can be used by applications. The explosion in growth of mobile devices has only accelerated this trend. Every new mobile phone sold is another platform onto which applications are deployed. These applications are often built from services provided from multiple sources. The applications often consume these services through their APIs.
