Modifying Scope-level Policy Details

Edit online

About this task

The API can have a set of policies that are configured globally through a global policy, or directly through a policy template, or a set of individual policies at the API-level or scope-level.

To customize the policy configurations at the scope-level, you need to apply the policies that are available for the API's scope, and then configure the properties of the individual policies to suit the needs of runtime behavior of that particular API.

You use the Policies tab to examine and modify the properties of a policy at the scope-level.
