Application API Request Process

Diana Antova

• Developer creates application and requests access to API products (standard Apigee functionality)

• Proposal: to develop an approval workflow process within the portal

  • Have a record of each application, contact information, description, and the API approval. Currently he approval is in email only.

  • All information is kept in the portal and easily accessible.

  • The form can be saved as a pdf and emailed to Registrar for their records

  • Visibility of the documents - can we show them to everyone with an account? keep private

  • Access Request Workflow Requirements

• Alternative: we continue to use the registrar access request form and save copies in Box

  • Pros: already established method

  • Cons:

    • documentation is not easily accessible

    • not everyone campus has access to the Box folder

    • there will be other approvers for non-student APIs
