This section of the API provides various permissions for various types of users to use a project in a particular manner.

The policies added for a particular scope in this section are applied to all the resources in a project. .

Policies are actions that may be set to perform on a request before and after a target URL is called.

Project resources are where policies can be applied. There are 4 resources available for use: Proxy Request, Target Request, Target Response, and Proxy Response. Policies can be added to any of these four depending on implementation requirements.
