Another important consideration when you are assigning roles is that admins can access all of the APIs and applications within the organization. Developer accounts are limited to only the APIs and applications on their team, and those they have been invited to. This allows Admins to govern API access within the organization.

What is the difference between an organization and a team?

An organization is made up of the various teams you create. For example, we have the RapidAPI organization, which contains the default team, front end team, back end team, developer relations team, etc.

How do I publish internal APIs?

Publishing an internal API follows the same structure as adding and managing an API under your personal account.

Once the API is published internally, anyone on the Team will have access to edit and manage the API.
