Developer Profiles

Legacy: Tyk Classic Portal

You’re viewing documentation for the Tyk Classic Portal, which is no longer actively maintained.

If you’re looking for the latest API documentation for the new Tyk Developer Portal, please refer to the Postman collection or visit the Tyk Developer Portal section.

The Classic Portal is in maintenance mode and will be deprecated soon. For questions or support, contact us at [e-mail].

Users that are signed up to your portal are called “Developers”, these users have access to a Dashboard page which show them their API usage over the past 7 days as well as the policy and quota limits on their relevant keys.

Developers can sign up to multiple APIs using the API catalog.

Developer accounts belong to an organization ID, so accounts cannot be shared across organizations in a Tyk Dashboard setup.

Navigate to the Portal Developers Section

Select Add Developer

Add Basic Details

Developer Profile Overview

The first panel in a developer profile will show you an avatar (if they have a Gravatar-enabled email address), as well as the basic fields of their signup:

Developer Usage

The next panel will show you their apI usage as an aggregate for all the tokens that they have generated with their developer access:

Developer Keys

In this panel, you will be able to see the various Keys the developer has access to, and the policies that are connected to the individual Key.

From version 1.9, you can now apply multiple policies to an individual Key.

To drill down into the specific usage patterns for each Key, click ANALYTICS for the Key.

Add a New Key

To subscribe a developer to a new Key, from the Edit Developer screen, click New Key. From the pop-up screen, select one or more policies from the drop-down list and click Request Key.

Changing Developer Policy Keys

Step 1: View the Developer Profile

Browse to the developers list view and select the developer that you wish to manage.

Step 2: View Keys List

This sections shows you the Keys and the policies connected to them. This view will always try to match the access level to a catalog entry, if the policy assigned to a developer is not in the catalog, the entry will read “(No Catalog Entry)”. We recommend that all policy levels are in your catalog, even if they are not all live.

Step 3: Click Options

From the Options drop-down for the Key, select Change Policy.

Step 4: Select the New Policy

Select a new policy to add to your Key from the Policies drop-down list. You can also remove existing policies connected to the Key.

Step 5: Save the Change

Click CHANGE KEY POLICY to save the changes.
