Overview

The BlueXP identity and access management (IAM) service provides a centralized point for managing customer and partner information. BlueXP IAM endpoints enable you to manage and control access to BlueXP resources.

If you're using BlueXP in standard mode, you no longer have a BlueXP account. Instead, you have a BlueXP organization that you manage using BlueXP IAM.

The following five components are defined within the BlueXP IAM service.

BlueXP IAM uses predefined roles that include sets of permissions which are required to manage and view data. You can have multiple roles within the same organization or set of resources.

You should verify that you have the appropriate permissions when using the BlueXP IAM API endpoints. With the appropriate permissions, you can manage an organization hierarchy modeled as folders (subdivisions of an organization using criteria such as department or region) and projects (a workspace in BlueXP). After organizing your resources into folders and projects, you can grant granular access to resources by providing organization members with permissions to specific folders and projects.

The actions available through the BlueXP IAM REST API are a superset of what's available through the web UI.

Note: Before using the API reference documentation, review the Get started section for the BlueXP APIs. For more information about the security tokens and identifiers you'll need when using the API, review the Common workflows and tasks section.
