Developer Apps getting deleted when developer is removed

[vsphanindra]

Hi,

Created an user and then this user created a set of Developer App's, once the user is removed all the developer app's that are created by this user are getting deleted.

User is created as Organization administarator.

Is this the expected behavior or is this a bug in APIgee.

@siva ,

This is expected behavior. Apps are tightly associated with a developer in Apigee. All apps associated with the developer are also removed from the organization.

Thank you for the update.

One question, when ever we try to we try to delete the product which is mapped to an developer app, error will be thrown. Shouldn't that be the case wrt deleting the developer?.

I can see value in your suggestion and will suggest internally.

Note that 'Developer' and 'User' are two distinct entities in Apigee Edge. Apps are associated with Developer and not with User. Though same id can be used for both.

@siva, Same has been suggested as part of idea forum. Use it to post any such enhancement.

The product registered with app could be a link between api and developer app, so product removal may impact the api traffic. where as developer doesn't stand as middle layer in api or product. One developer app can be created by only one developer. It could be a reason for which apigee has set warning in case of product deletion where as its not there for developer deletion.

api and product , product and app have dependency in reverse direction, where as developer doesn't stand as dependency in this flow.

Developer app only can be created by a developer, so if developer is not there, then the app may not be used. For group or team use of any developer app, that can be created with a team or group email as developer instead of creating in refernce to an user as developer.
