10.
● Organize all of your APIs
Better visualization and organization of the APIs created
and managed by your organization
● Approval-based Setup
Quickly and efficiently add approval processes to creation,
altering, and deletion of work on APIs.
● Enterprise-only Feature
Other team-based accounts can still work on APIs together,
but they will not have the same level of customized privacy.
● Demo Time!
Private API Network
@getpostman @iandouglas736 @matt_ball_uk

● Team-level Access
Granular roles built into Postman to set a user as a
Developer, Admin, Billing, Monitoring, even Internal/External
partner
● Workspace-level Access
Very specific access can be given for read/write access to
workspaces, and everything contained within!
● Basic, Professional or Enterprise
Customizing your access control rules requires a paid
Postman account.
● Demo Time!

Postman API for programmatic access
● Professional and Enterprise feature
