Modifying Global Policy Details
You must have the API Gateway's manage global policies functional privilege assigned.
You use the Global Policy details page to examine and modify the properties of a policy.
When modifying the details of a global policy, keep the following points in mind:
You will not be allowed to save the policy unless all of its properties have been set.
On successful modification of the policy details for an active global policy, the policy changes apply with immediate effect in all the active APIs that are applicable for this global policy.
You will not be allowed to remove an individual policy (for example, Identify and Authorize Application) from the active global policy, if the global policy is already applied to an active API, and if the Identify and Authorize Application is a dependent policy for another policy (for example, Throttling Traffic Optimization) that is applied for the API.
If modification of the policy details for an active global policy fails,
API Gateway issues an error message with details of the incompatible or conflicting policies.
To modify the properties of a global policy
1. Click Policies in the title navigation bar.
2. Click the Global Policies tab.
A list of all available global policies appears.
3. Select the required policy.
The Global Policy details page appears. The policy details are displayed in the following tabs:
Policy Details: This tab contains a summary of basic information such as name, description, scope of the policy as to when the policy will apply, applicable APIs, and other information.
Policy Configuration: This tab contains the policy stages, applied policies, as well as the configuration details of individual policies.
4. Click Edit.
If you do not see the Edit button, it is probably because you do not have the API Gateway Administrator role to modify the properties of a global policy in API Gateway.
5. On the Policy Details tab, modify the basic properties, selection criteria, and the applicable APIs as necessary.
6. On the Policy Configuration tab, modify the policy list and the policy's configuration properties as necessary.
7. When you have completed the required modifications in the Global Policy details page, click Save to save the updated policy.
8. Click Overview to view the complete list of policies in the updated policy.
The Overview button is located in the lower right-corner of the Infographic section.
To exit the overview, click the Close icon.
