For you to use the HCP management API with a tenant-level user account, the API must be enabled for both the HCP system and the tenant. Additionally, the API must be configured at the tenant level to allow access from your client IP address.
Enabling the management API also enables the use of the HS3 API to:
•Create namespaces
•List, view and modify the versioning status of, and delete namespaces you own
You use the Management API page in the Tenant Management Console to enable and configure the management API at the tenant level. To display this page:
1.In the top-level menu in the Tenant Management Console, mouse over Security to display a secondary menu.
2.In the secondary menu, click on MAPI.
