The Kong Konnect team has introduced the Portal Management API to streamline the management of Developer Portals, allowing for the automation of developer approvals and the assignment of permissions, which were previously time-consuming and error-prone tasks. By using this API, users can automate the approval of developers from trusted domains and assign them to relevant teams, reducing the need for manual intervention. The API also aids in identifying developers who may be blocked from using APIs due to permission issues or other reasons by generating reports. These reports help ensure developers have the necessary permissions to consume APIs or highlight those who may need further assistance. This automation facilitates quicker onboarding of developers and enhances the efficiency of managing developer interactions with APIs, allowing for better monitoring and follow-up with developers who may not be utilizing the APIs effectively.
