Saving Policy Definition of an API as Policy Template

Edit online

Before you begin

You must have the API Gateway's manage policy templates functional privilege assigned.

About this task

The Policies tab on the API details page specifies the set of policies that API Gateway will execute when an application requests access to that particular API.

The API can have a set of policies that are applied through a global policy, through a policy template, through a scope-level policy, and through API-level policies.

You can save the current policy definition of an API as a new policy template. At a later time, you can reuse this policy template in other APIs. For more information, see Applying a Policy Template on the API Details Page.
