Viewing API Policy Details
The Policies tab on the API details page specifies the set of policies that are applied for that particular API.
The API can have a set of policies that are configured globally through a policy, or directly through a policy template or a scope-level policy.
The global policy in an API details page has each of its policies differentiated using a specific icon from the rest of the policies that are defined at the API-level and scope-level. The icon in the policy indicates the Identify & Authorize policy's enforcement level within an API:
Icon | Description |
| Policy is applied from a global policy. This policy is applicable across all resources / methods / operations of all APIs. |
| Policy is applied from a policy template or at the API definition. This policy is applicable across all resources / methods / operations of that particular API. |
| Policy is applied for the API's scope. This policy is applicable across a set of resources / methods / operations of that particular API. |
| Policy is applied through an active package definition. This policy is applicable across all resources / methods / operations of that particular API. |
Unlike the policy defined at API-level or scope-level, the policy defined as part of a global policy cannot be edited or deleted through the details page of an API.
