Reserved roles

Cloud API has two sets of reserved roles. These roles are used either by Cloud API or by other Guidewire features or services. Use caution when modifying these roles, as modifications may prevent the relevant Guidewire feature or service from behaving as expected.

Reserved roles for special types of Cloud API callers

Cloud API includes the following reserved roles for special types of callers:

  • Unauthenticated.role.yaml - This role defines access for callers who provide no authentication information.
  • anonymous.role.yaml - This role defines access for anonymous users. (These are users who were initially unauthenticated but who created an account and may now create, quote, and bind policies for that account.)

Reserved roles for other Guidewire services and features

Cloud API includes the following reserved roles for Guidewire services and features outside of Cloud API:

  • gw_cloudrating.role.yaml - For calls made by the Cloud Rating service.
  • gw_cloudrulesengine.role.yaml - For calls made by the Cloud Rules Engine service.
  • gw_cloudrulesui.role.yaml - For calls made by the Cloud Rules UI service.
  • gw_cloudunderwriting.role.yaml - For calls made by the Cloud Underwriting service.
  • gw_configmanager.role.yaml - For calls made by the Configuration Manager service.
  • gw_hms.role.yaml - For calls made by the Hawaii Metadata Service.
