Creating a Global Policy
You must have the API Gateway's manage global policies functional privilege assigned.
To create a global policy you must perform the following high-level steps:
1. Create a new global policy: During this step, you specify the basic details of the global policy.
2. Optionally refine the scope of the policy: During this step, you can specify additional criteria to narrow the set of APIs to which the global policy applies.

4. Activate the policy: During this step, you put the new global policy into effect.
