Managing Developers

Developer Status

A status represents the state of a developer and the access they have to the Dev Portal and APIs:

  • Approved
    • A developer who can access the Dev Portal. Approved developers can create credentials & access all APIs that allow those credentials.
  • Requested
    • A developer who has requested access but has not yet been Approved.
  • Rejected
    • A developer who has had their request denied by a Kong admin.
  • Revoked
    • A developer who once had access to the Dev Portal but has since had access Revoked.

Managing Developers

Approving Developers

Developers who have requested access to a Dev Portal will appear under the Requested Access tab. From this tab, you can choose to Accept or Reject the developer from the actions in the table row. After selecting an action, the corresponding tab is updated.

View Approved Developers

To view all currently approved developers, click the Approved tab. From here, you can choose to Revoke or Delete a particular developer. Additionally, you can use this view to send an email to a developer with the Email Developer mailto link. See Emailing Developers for more info.

View Revoked Developers

To view all currently revoked developers, click the Revoked tab. From here, you can choose to Re-approve or Delete a developer.

View Rejected Developers

To view all currently rejected developers, click the Rejected tab. Rejected developers completed the registration flow on your Dev Portal but were rejected from the Request Access tab. You may Approve or Delete a developer from this tab.

Email Developers

Invite Developers to Register

To invite a single or multiple developers:

  1. Click Invite Developers.
  2. Use the popup modal to enter email addresses separated by commas.
  3. After all emails have been added, click Invite. A pre-filled message opens in your default email client with a link to the registration page for your Dev Portal.

Each developer is BCC’d by default for privacy. You may choose to edit the message or send as is.

Invite Developers
