Modifying the scope of a global policy

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.

About this task

You must have the Manage global policies functional privilege to do this task.

1. Open the menu options and select Manage > Policies.
2. Click the Global Policies tab. A list of all available global policies appears. Use the Show from the list to set the maximum number of policies you want to display in a page.
3. Select the 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 webMethods API Gateway administrator role to modify the scope of a global policy in webMethods API Gateway.
5. Select the policy's Filters section, and specify the following values.
   1. In the API Type property, select the API type REST, SOAP, ODATA, or all to which the policy is applied.
   2. Optional. In the Filter that uses API attributes section, specify more selection criteria to narrow the set of APIs to which this policy is applied. For details, see Refining the scope of a global policy.
6. Click Save.
