Manage folders and elements in the Private API Network

The Private API Network is available on Postman Enterprise plans.

You can manage folders and elements in the Private API Network. You can edit a collection's environments, move folders and elements, rename folders, and remove folders and elements from the network.

Super Admins and API Network Managers can manage all folders and elements in your Private API Network. You can assign team members the Folder Manager role at the folder level, giving them permission to manage specific folders and the elements in them. Users with the Editor role for an element can also manage the element.

Enterprise teams can also assign the API Network Manager role to a user group. For more information about assigning team roles to groups, see User groups.

You can manage elements within the Private API Network or with the Postman API.
