  description: The Gloo Portal Server REST API backs the Solo.io developer portal for Kgateway Enterprise / Gloo Gateway.
    It lets portal users look up their session user, browse API products and product versions, create and manage teams and
    team applications, subscribe applications to API products, and self-provision credentials (API keys and OAuth client credentials)
    for the APIs exposed through the portal.
