Permission groups

A permission group is an access pattern the organisation defines once: it ties who may call which APIs, and how the matching subscriptions are created on the gateway. Administrators maintain permission groups under Admin → Permission Groups.

Teams are linked to permission groups so that their members inherit the right access. Administrators manage those links from the Permission Groups tab on a team's page. Only administrators edit permission groups.

Permission groups are separate from team membership. Membership answers "who is on the team". A permission group answers "which APIs that team is allowed to use".
