When Microsoft Entra ID is configured for portal access, users must sign in to the API Center portal to access APIs. To enable sign-in, assign the Azure API Center Data Reader role to users or groups in your organization, scoped to your API center.

Note

  • When the Microsoft Entra ID app registration is set up automatically, the user who configures the portal is automatically assigned the Azure API Center Data Reader role.
  • Be sure to assign the Azure API Center Data Reader role to other administrators of the API center.

For detailed prerequisites and steps to assign a role to users and groups, see Assign Azure roles using the Azure portal. Brief steps follow:

  1. In the Azure portal, go to your API center.
  2. In the sidebar menu, select Access control (IAM) > + Add role assignment.
  3. In the Add role assignment pane, set the values as follows:
    1. On the Role page, search for and select Azure API Center Data Reader. Select Next.
    2. On the Members page, In Assign access to, select User, group, or service principal > + Select members.
    3. On the Select members page, search for and select the users or groups to assign the role to. Click Select and then Next.
    4. Review the role assignment, and select Review + assign.

Note

To streamline access configuration for new users, we recommend that you assign the role to a Microsoft Entra group and configure a dynamic group membership rule. To learn more, see Create or update a dynamic group in Microsoft Entra ID.

After you configure access to the portal, users can sign in to the portal and view the APIs in your API center.

Note

The first user to sign in to the portal is prompted to consent to the permissions requested by the API Center portal app registration. Thereafter, other configured users aren't prompted to consent.
