Working with Plans

After a Product has been published to a Catalog, you can work with the Plans in that Product.

Before you begin

Note: In the The Help icon.Help page of the Cloud Manager, API Manager, and API Designer user interfaces, there's a Product information tile that you can click to find out information about your product versions, as well as Git information about the package versions being used. Note that the API Designer product information is based on its associated management server, but the Git information is based on where it was downloaded from.

For details on configuring a Plan in a Product, see Editing a draft Product.

To complete the tasks that are described in this topic, you must either be the owner of the API provider organization, or you must be assigned a role that has either the Product > Manage or the Product > View permission for the Catalog. For more information, see Adding provider organization users and assigning roles and Managing Catalog membership.
