Predefined Policies for API Management
 
The User Registration Policies
The Consumer Onboarding Policies
The API Key Management Policies
The OAuth2 Client Management Policies
The API-Portal Integration Policies
API management policies are predefined, design-time or change-time policies that CentraSite uses to perform internal requests (for example, registering the consumers for an API) and governance functions (for example, ensuring the validity of policies). By default, the API management policies are not displayed by CentraSite Control; however you can view them by enabling the Show Predefined Policies option in the Design/Change-Time Policy page.
If you have 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.
