Permissions for console-level and API-level access for BMC Helix Operations Management

Console-level users are tenant administrators and users that are manually created by the tenant administrator require credentials to access the BMC Helix Portal and BMC Helix Operations Management consoles.

API-level users are the users that require programmatic access to BMC Helix Portal and BMC Helix Operations Management . API users have the API key, which includes the access key (similar to a user name) and the secret key (similar to a password). The API key can be used for programmatic access to BMC Helix Portal . This key can be generated by the tenant administrator at a tenant level or by an individual user at a user level.

For more information, see User access Open link .

In BMC Helix Operations Management , a tenant-level API user is created in the following format:
timestamp@tenantid

This user cannot be deleted. If you delete this user, a new API user is automatically created with the same format.

For information about the permissions associated with this user, see List of permissions Open link .
