    Hi Eric,

     

    Thank you for reporting this. I tested it out myself, and sure enough, there is a bug here.

     

    There is a permission for using the API browser called "Use the API Browser":

     

     

    Granting that permission should be the only thing you need to do to enable them to use the api browser tab.

     

    I filed a bug to fix this and have fixed it so that all you should need to do is add them to a role that has the "User the API browser" permission. This fix should go into our version 17.8 release.

     

    Thanks,
