API management policies are predefined, design-time or change-time policies that CentraSite uses to perform internal requests (e.g., registering the consumers for an API) and governance functions (e.g., ensuring the validity of policies). By default, API management policies are not displayed by CentraSite Control; however you can view them by enabling the Show Predefined Policies option on the Design/Change-Time Policy page.

If you belong to a role that includes the Manage System-Wide Design/Change-Time Policies permission, you have the ability to edit, delete and deactivate CentraSite's predefined API management policies. However, you should not do this. These policies perform critical functions within the registry and must not be deleted, or deactivated except under the direction of a technical representative from Software AG.
