7. What is Business Group ?
Business groups are self-contained resource groups that contain Anypoint Platform resources
such as applications and APIs.
Helps in controlling access to Anypoint Platform resources at User level
Only Org Admin can create/modify/delete BGs
vCores
PROD/Sandbox/Design
Static IPs VPC VPN
Reference - https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/business-groups

8. Why and when do we create BGs
 Provides more fine-grained control over access
 Provides complete isolation of platform resources
 Allows to delegate management and administration of platform resources like
o APIs
o Applications
o Child business groups
o Users and Roles

● Assets and resources (vCores, static IPs etc..) can’t be used across BGs

It provides a framework using which external applications can integrate with Anypoint Platform.
Advantages:
 Access can be shared without sensitive credentials.
 Full Control rights of third parties can be controlled.
 Connected Apps usage is tracked and auditable.
 Granted access can be revoked.
 Revoking granted access does not require users to change their password.
 Passwords can be changed without having to update other systems.
What is Connected Apps in Mulesoft?

14. Usage For :

15. Keep these ideas in mind when creating
Connected Apps or managing authorizations:
 Own up to 200 Connected Apps.
 Administrators has access to view all authorized applications.
 Only Administrators can disable or whitelist specific Connected Apps.
 Use client grant type for applications made for your team or company to ensure that as an app
owner leaves the company, the application will continue to work without interruptions.
 Once an application is created, it’s assigned a clientID, which can’t be changed. Similar to
user passwords, client secrets can be modified under the application settings page.
 Application actions are logged in Audit Log
