Apigee X documentation . info
NOTE for PRIVATE CLOUD:
(Edge on-premises installation only) In a Cloud-based installation of Edge,
Apigee functions in the role of system administrator.
You can only assign global users to the system administrator role in an Edge for the Private Cloud
installation.
Caution: When an API proxy in Apigee Edge for Public or
Private Cloud connects to a target endpoint or target server, Apigee does
not by default perform hostname validation for the certificate presented by the target
endpoint or target server. To enforce hostname validation, you have the option of applying
a configuration at the individual proxy level or setting a flag to enable enforcement for your
entire organization. For more information
these configuration changes,
see Security Bulletin: GCP-2024-006 .An Edge system administrator can:
Perform the operations of the
Edge built-in roles
for all organizations
Create global users
Create organizations, environments, and virtual hosts
Add additional components to an Edge installation
Configure TLS/SSL on a virtual host
Create additional system administrators
Perform all other Edge administrative tasks
Note: While it is not required, you can assign a system administrator
to an organization, typically as an organization administrator. Unless assigned to an
organization, the system administrator cannot log in to the Edge management UI.For more on the actions allowed by the system administrator, see
Managing users, roles, and
permissions in the Edge Private Cloud documentation.
