Service interface templates for enterprise mobile services

A method comprising:

• in a mobile network configured to provide communications for user equipment (UE) and including a plurality of mobile service functions,
• exposing a service interface based on a service interface template which represents an enterprise mobile service for an enterprise, the service interface template indicating a plurality of capabilities of the enterprise mobile service, the plurality of capabilities including at least a subset of the plurality of mobile service functions in the mobile network;
• providing the enterprise mobile service for the enterprise via the service interface, which includes interfacing for communication with a host of a private enterprise network of the enterprise via an application programming interface (API) at an API endpoint, for enterprise exposure and control over the at least the subset of the plurality of mobile service functions for use in relation to a plurality of UEs operating in the mobile network and associated with a plurality of members of the enterprise, for exposure of the mobile network as a logical extension of the private enterprise network that the plurality of UEs have access to as members of the enterprise;
• wherein the API is defined at least in part by one or more API request types to perform one or more operations on a plurality of resources of a data store, the plurality of resources including:
• a collection of member identity elements corresponding to member identities of the plurality of members, and/or a collection of mobile identity elements corresponding to mobile identities of the plurality of UEs;
• a collection of one or more group identity elements corresponding to one or more group identities of one or more groups of member or mobile identity elements;
• wherein the one or more operations of the one or more API request types include an operation to provide a selective assignment of a group identity to one of the at least the subset of the plurality of mobile service functions;
• and
• wherein in response to receiving via the API endpoint the selective assignment of the group identity, causing the one of the at least the subset of the plurality of mobile service functions to be provisioned and/or executed for members and/or mobile identities of the selective assignment of the group identity.

• wherein the API is defined at least in part by one or more API request types to perform one or more operations on a plurality of resources of a data store, the plurality of resources including a collection of selectable parameter indication elements corresponding to a plurality of selectable parameter indications;
• and
• wherein in response to receiving via the API endpoint a selected one of the plurality of selected parameter indications, causing one of the at least the subset of the plurality of mobile service functions of the mobile network to be provisioned with one or more provisionable parameters corresponding to the selected one of the plurality of selectable parameter indications.
