Adding and Managing Policies

This guide explains how to add and manage policies for APIs deployed to Platform Gateway.

Overview

Policies allow you to enforce security, traffic control, transformations, and other governance requirements on your APIs.

For APIs deployed to Platform Gateway, policies are currently sourced from Policy Hub and configured in the API Publisher.

You can apply policies by dragging them to the policy canvas and then configuring each policy to run in the request flow or response flow, based on your API behavior requirements.

To add policies to an API deployed to Platform Gateway:

  1. Sign in to the Publisher Portal.
  2. Open the API that is deployed (or will be deployed) to Platform Gateway.

  3. Go to Develop -> Policies.
