Modifying the Scope of a Global Policy

Edit online

Before you begin

You must have the API Gateway's manage global policies functional privilege assigned.

About this task

Scope refers to the set of properties that determine a selected set of APIs for the enforcement of the policy. For a global policy, scope is determined by the policy's property API type in the Policy details tab.
API Type Description
REST Global policy is applied on all REST APIs in API Gateway.
SOAP Global policy is applied on all SOAP APIs in API Gateway.
ODATA Global policy is applied on all OData APIs in API Gateway.

To modify the scope of a global policy

Procedure

  1. Click Policies in the title navigation bar.
  2. Click the Global policies tab.
    A list of all available global policies appears. Use the Show drop-down list at the bottom of the page to set the maximum number of policies you want to display in a page.
  3. Select the required policy.
    The global policy details page appears.
  4. Click Edit.
    If you do not see the Edit button, it is probably because you do not have the API Gateway Administrator role to modify the scope of a global policy in API Gateway.
  5. In the Filters section, specify the following:
    1. In the API type section, select the API types (REST, SOAP, ODATA, or all) to which you want to apply the policy.
    2. Optional. In the Filter using attributes section, specify additional selection criteria to narrow the set of APIs to which this policy will be applied. For details, see Refining the Scope of a Global Policy.
  6. Click Save.
