ORDS 22.1 enabling and protecting instance api?

Hi,
how to enable instance api and create a secure system adm role user for it?
java version "17.0.3" 2022-04-19 LTS ords.installed_version 22.1.0.r1051723
It looks like there isn't instance.api.enabled key?
$ /mypath/22.1.0/bin/ords --config /mypath/221 config info instance.api.enabled ORDS: Release 22.1 Production on Mon May 02 16:39:25 2022 Copyright (c) 2010, 2022, Oracle. Configuration: /mypath/221/ Setting information from configuration /mypath/221/databases/default Setting: instance.api.enabled Description: The setting named: instance.api.enabled is not known Value: None Default: None Sensitive: No Global: No
And when enabled, how to authorize access to this api?

create an ords user with the appropriate roles as Kris shows here, the docs however should talk about the security model for these APIs

Thanx!
Found also this blog : https://peterobrien.blog/2021/10/11/ords-pool-usage-chart-with-apex/ it is neat because it has apex app example. In that blog he claims that the "credentials"-file based user repository is not intended for production use, so somewhat better approach is needed. Hmm :)
btw. the dba/dbactions (sdw/rest) ords stuff are awesome!
