Hi, we're trying subscription key function and has one questions here.

The scenario we want to test is
API Product : let's say, product name is "TESTABC"
Requires subscription = true
Requires approval = false

API under TESTABC :
Subscription required = true

  1. Since TESTABC does not need approval, it will not be listed in Product in developer portal. Developers can directly look into the APIs in the menu API.
    The question here is , how does developer apply "API scope" subscription through developer portal ? it looks like the subscription submission entrance is only in Product menu. Though we can add new subscription in backend of APIM, just want to know is backend assignment the only way for API scope submission ?

Need your advice. Thank you

    Looks like direct subscriptions aren't supported in the developer portal based on this comment. But since the developer portal is open-source are could add support for them as required and self-host the developer portal.
