Consumer accounts

The API Consumers list shows every developer who has signed in to your API Portal, with their approval status. Open a consumer to see their details, subscriptions, teams, and requests.

The API Consumers list shows every developer who has signed in to your API Portal. Each row carries an approval status, so you can see at a glance who is active and who is waiting. Open a consumer to see their profile, subscriptions, teams, and any pending requests.

What is the API Consumers list?

It is the dashboard list of every developer with an account in your API Portal. The list opens from API Consumers under the Consumers group. The search box is labelled Consumers and matches on ID, name, and email.

You filter the list by:

FilterWhat it narrows to
StatusApproval status: Active, Pending, or Rejected.
TeamsOnly internal teams, only external teams, or both.
CompanyA specific company. Shown only when the company feature is enabled.
Identity ProviderThe identity provider the consumer signed in through.

To invite a developer yourself, use Invite User. It sends an email invitation and is available when your role allows managing portal users.

What are the consumer approval statuses?

A consumer is Approved, Pending, or Canceled. Approved consumers can use the portal. Pending consumers are waiting on a decision. Canceled consumers were rejected. These map to the ACTIVE, PENDING, and REJECTED states in the code.

Status shownStateWhat it means
ApprovedACTIVEThe consumer can sign in and subscribe.
PendingPENDINGThe consumer is waiting on approval.
CanceledREJECTEDThe account was rejected.

On the list, a pending row links straight to that consumer's Requests tab, where the approve and reject controls live alongside any pending subscription or scope items.

What can you see on a consumer?

Open a consumer to reach their detail page. It carries the consumer's name and an approval badge in the header, plus tabs for their account, subscriptions, and teams. A Requests tab appears only when the consumer has pending requests.

TabWhat it shows
DetailsThe consumer's profile: email, name, auth type, identity provider, provider ID, and account created date.
SubscriptionsThe subscriptions this consumer owns.
TeamsThe teams this consumer belongs to.
RequestsPending registration, subscription, and scope requests for this consumer. Shown only when there are any.

What is on the Details tab?

The Details tab lists the consumer's profile fields. Auth Type reads Federated SSO when the consumer signed in through an identity provider, or Password when they used a portal password. The Identity Provider field names that provider.

FieldWhat it tells you
EmailThe consumer's email address.
NameGiven and family name, when set.
Auth TypeFederated SSO or Password.
Identity ProviderThe provider the consumer signed in through, when federated.
Provider IDThe consumer's identifier at the identity provider.
Account CreatedThe date the account was created.

When custom registration properties are enabled for your portal, a Custom Properties table lists each property and the consumer's value.

How do you approve or remove a consumer?

If you are in the right approval group, a pending consumer shows Approve and Reject in the header. Approving sets the consumer to Active. Rejecting sets them to Rejected. Approvals also live on the consumer's Requests tab, next to any pending subscription and scope items.

To remove a consumer, use the delete control in the Details tab danger zone. A consumer who owns active subscriptions cannot be deleted, and the button stays blocked until those subscriptions are removed or held by another team member. Deleting a consumer is gated by the role that allows managing portal users.
