Users that can access APIs in Doors Next Generation 7.0.3

I am developing an OpenSocial widget for Doors Next Generation that is deployed in Jazz. I am using the client extension APIsReportable REST APIs, and the OSLC APIs. Will these APIs work for any user that has access to Doors Next regardless of what their role is in a Doors Next project?

Joshua,

API will work for any user that have access to the project and DNG. Just be aware that API is also limited by role permissions.

If user do not have right for example to change artifacts that will be also limited and verified by API.

As long as you are not using Private APIs you should be fine and good luck !

Thanks for your response. Since I'm only using "read" APIs (will not be using any APIs for updating/creating), then I guess this means that as long as the user has access to the project in DNG, then they should work for all roles?

Yes, if you are a member of the project and you have a license that will be enough.

As far as I know, for Doors Next, the user 

  1. Requires a user entry
  2. Requires a repository role that allows access to the repository e.g. JazzUser/JazzGuest
  3. Requires to have access control based access to the project area
  4. Requires a license that allows access to the requirement management application e.g. a contributor license

I just created a user that has 1, 2, 3 but not 4 and I can't access the doors Next project area.

So pretty much if the user is able to access the DOORS Next project (they can login and view the requirements), then the APIs (I'm only using read APIs and will only be accessing data within the user's DOORS Next project) should work for them right?
