By default, users who are not members of your organization cannot subscribe to and consume the APIs in your default API Store. Only invited members can subscribe and use APIs. However, an admin of the organization (tenant admin) can enable self sign-up to the API Store, allowing any visitor to the Store to register and become a community member.
Enabling Self SignUp requires the Getting Traction or a higher subscription plan. If you have a trial account or a Starter plan, please upgrade your account.

Go to the API Store (
https://api.cloud.wso2.com/store/?tenant=<your organization name>), log out from it if you are already logged in, and note that the Sign-up link is not available anymore.Tip Tip: It can take some time for self sign-up to be disabled after you change the registry. This is because the previous settings stay in the cache until it is refreshed, which happens every 15 minutes.
In this tutorial, you have configured self sign-up in the API Store for the tenant admin and registered to the API Store as an anonymous user.
You then disabled self sign-up and noticed how the Sign-up link is removed from the API Store.
