Adding a Policy

Policies are requirements/checks that need to be added to a target URL for pre-processing or post-processing. To add a policy in a project, the following actions need to be performed on the API Projects page, where the projects are listed.

1. Click the Open icon to open the project to which the policy is to be added.
2. Click the Policies tab on the left side and click the Add icon on the upper-right side of the Policies screen to add a new policy.

3. In the dialog box, select Create a Policy option, select the type of policy to be added from Policy Type drop-down and provide a Policy ID to represent the policy.

   

   The Choose From Repository option allows to use policies configured in the Policy Repository irrespective of the project being worked on:

4. Click the Save icon present on the top of the page to apply the changes to the project.

   

   A confirmation message flashes for 2 seconds in the background.

Each policy is explained in detail in the Policies section.

Details about adding a resource while adding a policy are described in the next section.
