Role-based Access Control
Secure your services with Role-based Access Control (RBAC).
Overview
Role-based Access Controls make it easy to grant and restrict access to Kong users and developers. By defining specific roles, Kong customers can define how a given individual or group of individuals can interact with Kong and the services exposed through the Kong platform. RBAC can be used to restrict what users can change or view within the Kong Manager, as well as what services they can view or consumer within the Kong Developer Portal. RBAC can also be combined with workspaces to implement group policies across entire development teams, groups of partners, regions or operating environments to minimize friction and ensure compliance.
Create custom roles to define exactly how people can publish, consume or modify services within Kong. Automatically assign roles to users and consumers during the onboarding process to reduce friction. Ensure compliance with organizational and industry policies by restricting access to sensitive information to authorized persons. Take advantage of RBAC within Kong Manager and the Developer Portal to easily grant or limit access privileges to individual users and consumers, or entire teams, partner companies, and environments via Workspaces.
Customer Voice
Customer Voice
“As we evaluated API platforms, it was critical that the vendor we chose could simultaneously support our existing services in the public cloud with what we are building in Kubernetes. Kong offered us the ability to unify services across clouds, which gave us the flexibility to build new services iteratively and how we wanted without fear of cloud lock-in.”
