In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, the Platform Navigator is the central UI for managing integration capabilities, including user and access control. To add users and user groups, the required permission level is Administrator.
User Management Capabilities:
The Administrator role in Platform Navigator has full access to user and group management functions, including:
Adding new users
Assigning roles
Managing access policies
RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) Enforcement:
CP4I enforces RBAC to restrict actions based on roles.
Only Administrators can modify user access, ensuring security compliance.
Access Control via OpenShift and IAM Integration:
User management in CP4I integrates with IBM Cloud IAM or OpenShift User Management.
The Administrator role ensures correct permissions for authentication and authorization.
Why is "Administrator" the Correct Answer?
Why Not the Other Options?Option
Reason for Exclusion
A. root
"root" is a Linux system user and not a role in Platform Navigator. CP4I does not grant UI-based root access.
B. Super-user
No predefined "Super-user" role exists in CP4I. If referring to an elevated user, it still does not match the Administrator role in Platform Navigator.
D. User
Regular "User" roles have view-only or limited permissions and cannot manage users or groups.
Thus, the Administrator role is the correct choice for adding users and user groups in Platform Navigator.
