Authorization Policies

Last updated on March 24, 2026.

Authorization Policies control which requests are permitted to access your Custom API Endpoints. A policy defines the conditions that an incoming request must meet before the endpoint processes it. This gives you fine-grained control over who or what can interact with your Instance through its API.

This article discusses the following topics:

  • Creating an Authorization Policy
  • Updating an Authorization Policy
  • Deleting an Authorization Policy

Creating an Authorization Policy

To create an Authorization Policy:

  1. Navigate to API from the main menu.
  2. Select Authorization Policies.
  3. Select CREATE AUTHORIZATION POLICY.
  4. Fill out the form.
  5. Select CREATE.

Updating an Authorization Policy

To update an Authorization Policy:

  1. Navigate to API from the main menu.
  2. Select Authorization Policies.
  3. Find the policy you want to update and select its Edit row action link.
  4. Make your changes.
  5. Select SAVE.

Deleting an Authorization Policy

To delete an Authorization Policy:

  1. Navigate to API from the main menu.
  2. Select Authorization Policies.
  3. Find the policy you want to delete and select its Delete row action link.

Deleting an Authorization Policy will remove it from any Custom API Endpoints it is currently assigned to. Requests to those endpoints will no longer be validated against the deleted policy.
