Viewing or Changing a Run-Time Policy
You use the Run-Time Policy Details page to examine and/or edit the details for a policy. When editing a policy, keep the following points in mind:
*If your user account belongs to a role that has the Manage Runtime Policies permission for an organization, you automatically have permission to modify all of the policies in that organization. If your user account belongs to a role that has the Manage System-Wide Runtime Policies permission, you have permission to edit any system-wide policy on the server.
*You cannot modify an active policy. If the policy that you want to edit is in the active state, you must deactivate it. For information about deactivating a policy, see Deactivating a Run-Time Policy.
*If you modify a run-time policy that is applied to a published virtual API, you must manually republish the policy to put those changes into immediate effect.

Field
Description
Name
The name of the run-time policy. A policy name can contain any character (including spaces). A policy name does not need to be unique within the registry. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple policies the same name. As a best practice, we recommend that organizations adopt appropriate naming conventions to ensure the assignment of distinct policy names.
Description
Optional. Additional comments or descriptive information about the policy.
Version
The user-assigned version ID assigned to this policy. You may use any versioning scheme you choose for identifying different versions of a policy. The identifier does not need to be numeric.
Examples:
0.0a
1.0.0 (beta)
Pre-release 001
V1-2007.04.30
