company or team management in APIGEE X

[behzad843]

Hi team,

I used APIGEE edge management APIs to manage teams on portal, I am using these resources:

Company, companyApp, CompanyDeveloper, ...

Do we have company or team management APIs in APIGEE X. What happen for these APIs if we migrate EDGE to X?

Yes,  In Apigee X you can use AppGroups
For more info check this doc : https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/publish/organizing-client-app-ownership

Also see, Introducing public preview of AppGroups :

If you are using Apigee Drupal Portal see this :

Thanks @shishir21 and do you know how can I add developer to AppGroups?

[shishir21 · Accepted solution]

You can add developer/members as custom attributes of the AppGroup.

See this: https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/publish/organizing-client-app-ownership#migrating-...

We store AppGroup membership information inside '__apigee_reserved__developer_details'  attribute with key value (Combination of developers and roles see here )

I hope this answers your question.

For more information see Apigee API doc :https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/reference/apis/apigee/rest

Reviving this thread.

Hi @shishir21 , other than logical grouping of the apps, are there any differences between company apps and AppGroups? We are also migrating to Apigee X and I was thinking if we just create the company apps in Edge as developer apps in Apigee X. We did not implement any monetization.

Thanks!

Hi @rssabandal 

The main difference is AppGroups can manage developer and their roles within the group, while company apps & developer apps don't have this feature.

Also please check all things you can do with Appgroups - https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/publish/organizing-client-app-ownership

Please know the above points and make a decision.

Thanks!

I'm just thinking if it's not needed since our internal team are the only ones that have access to the Apigee X instance. Thanks a lot for the input!
