Manage Developer Access

In the Dev Portal section, there are three ways to manage access and authorization settings for the Dev Portal:

The Access Requests page lists developer registration and application registration requests.
The Developers page lists developers who have requested access to the Dev Portal, along with the developer’s current status and associated applications.
The Applications page lists applications and their statuses.

To allow automatic approval of developer registration requests, enable auto approve.

Access Requests page

The Access Requests page is available by clicking Dev Portal, from the Konnect navigation menu. On the Access Requests page, you can manage registration requests for developers using the Developers tab, and application requests using the Applications tab. When auto-approve is disabled, all registration requests must be manually approved from the Access Requests page.

Manage developer access requests

All pending developer requests are displayed in the Developers tab in the Access Requests section.

To approve or reject an access requests, go to the Developers page:

Find the developer request you want to view.
Click the icon and choose Approve, Reject, or Delete from the menu.

The three options available are defined below:

Approve - The developer access request is approved. The developer is able to log in to the Dev Portal. The developer is now visible from the Developers page in Konnect.
Reject - The developer access request is rejected. Rejected developers are removed from the requests list. The developer is unable to submit another registration request.
Delete - The developer access request is deleted. A developer can submit another registration request. To prevent a developer from submitting requests, you must revoke access.

Developers page

From this page, you can manage users who have already been approved and are actively using the Dev Portal.

Revoke access

Revoking access prevents a developer from signing up for access again with the same email address, unless the revoked request is deleted. Reasons for revoking a developer can include violations of your organization’s policies or other nefarious reasons.

To revoke a developer’s access, from the Developers page, follow these steps:

Find the developer whose status you want to change.
Click the icon and choose Revoke from the context menu.

This action can be undone by clicking the and choosing Approve.

Delete a developer

A deleted developer would have to sign up again and request access and approval. Deleting a developer deletes everything owned by that developer including their applications. To delete a developer, navigate to the Developers page, and follow these steps:

Find the developer whose status you want to change.
In the row for the developer you want to delete, click the icon and choose Delete from the context menu.

Developers page statuses

A status represents the state of developers and their access to the Konnect Dev Portal.

This list represents all of the statuses an approved developer can be in:

Approved: A developer has been approved to access the Konnect Dev Portal. Approved developers can generate credentials and access all APIs that allow those credentials.
Revoked: A developer who had prior access to the Konnect Dev Portal but has since had their access revoked.
