Manage Application Service Connections
Revoke, reinstate, or delete an application’s connection to a Service. When a developer registers a request to access a Service for an application, and the request is approved either automatically or by a Konnect admin, it creates an application connection between the developer, their applications, and the associated Service Versions.
Prerequisite
Organization Admin or Service Admin permissions.
