This topic describes how to manage consumers and authorizations in cloud-native API Gateway.
Manage consumers
Cloud-native API Gateway uses consumers to enable authentication for routes and APIs, thus implementing fine-grained access control for requests. Each consumer can be assigned an independent identity and authorization policy to ensure that only authenticated requests can access the resources. For more information, see Create a consumer.
Manage authorization
By managing authorizations for API consumers, you ensure that only authorized requests can access service resources. For more information, see Manage authorization.
