The Create API Group dialog box appears.

The Name field gets updated based on the changes you make to API Group Name. The version information is appended to the Name field by default. You can't edit the Name field.
The API group name can contain up to 50 characters, including ASCII letters, digits, Japanese characters, n-dash, and the following special characters: $ ( )[ ] . ? `- _

You can create a new category or select an existing category.

API Center saves and publishes the API group. The published API group page opens where you can add operations to the API group and configure API policies for the group.
8On the Groups Operations tab, click Add Operations to add operations from different published APIs.
9On the Policies tab, you can associate a user-level rate limit policy, add IP filtering rules, and add an API-level JSON web token (JWT) authentication or an OAuth 2.0 authentication to the API group.
You can configure a rate limit policy for all operations in an API group. You can configure a user-level rate limit policy for all users listed under User-Level Rate Limit area.
