Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Group entity in your Azure API Management deployment. Groups are used to manage the visibility of products to developers. Each API Management service instance comes with the following immutable system groups whose membership is automatically managed by API Management. - **Administrators** - Azure subscription administrators are members of this group. - **Developers** - Authenticated developer portal users fall into this group. - **Guests** - Unauthenticated developer portal users are placed into this group. In addition to these system groups, administrators can create custom groups or [leverage external groups in associated Azure Active Directory tenants](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-aad#how-to-add-an-external-azure-active-directory-group). Custom and external groups can be used alongside system groups in giving developers visibility and access to API products. For example, you could create one custom group for developers affiliated with a specific partner organization and allow them access to the APIs from a product containing relevant APIs only. A user can be a member of more than one group.
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on NamedValue entity associated with your Azure API Management deployment. API Management policies are a powerful capability of the system that allow the publisher to change the behavior of the API through configuration. Policies are a collection of statements that are executed sequentially on the request or response of an API. Policy statements can be constructed using literal text values, policy expressions, and NamedValues. Each API Management service instance has a NamedValues collection of key/value pairs that are global to the service instance. These NamedValues can be used to manage constant string values across all API configuration and policies.
Use these REST APIs for getting the network connectivity status of your Azure API Management deployment. When the API Management service is deployed inside a Virtual Network, it needs to have access to other Azure resources it depends on. This also gives details about the DNS Servers visible to Azure API Management deployment.
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Product entity associated with your Azure API Management deployment. The Product entity represents a product in API Management. Products include one or more APIs and their associated terms of use. Once a product is published, developers can subscribe to the product and begin to use the product’s APIs.
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Property entity associated with your Azure API Management deployment. API Management policies are a powerful capability of the system that allow the publisher to change the behavior of the API through configuration. Policies are a collection of statements that are executed sequentially on the request or response of an API. Policy statements can be constructed using literal text values, policy expressions, and properties. Each API Management service instance has a properties collection of key/value pairs that are global to the service instance. These properties can be used to manage constant string values across all API configuration and policies.
Use these REST APIs for performing operations on Quota entity associated with your Azure API Management deployment. To configure call rate limit and quota policies refer to [how to configure call rate limit and quota](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-product-with-rules#a-namepolicies-ato-configure-call-rate-limit-and-quota-policies).
