Portal Access Groups Introduction
The Portal Access Group is a group of Control Center resources (Plans and Interactive Documentation) and Portal Users (developers). You can use Portal Access Groups to provide role-based user access to resources on your Portal. The users in a specific Portal Access Group have access only to the resources in that Portal Access Group. The users can request Package Keys for API Package and Plans on the Developer Portal that are in the Portal Access Group.
