Property Manager

Properties are base configurations that govern your site or application's Akamai setup. Each property contains an Edge Hostname, your traffic and security options, and your business rules.

Use cases

Use the PowerShell module to create and manage your properties, property rules, and property rule includes.

Prefixes

The Property API is unique in the way that it represents all aspects of its resources with a prefix denoting the type by default.

Object              Value            Prefix
------              -----            ------
accountId         : act_1-ABCDEF     act_
contractId        : ctr_1-1GH2IJ     ctr_
groupId           : grp_111111       grp_
propertyId        : prp_555555       prp_
assetId           : aid_10001111     aid_

The presence, or absence, of prefixes is controlled per API client as part of the Property Manager API. To see how yours is set up, run the Get-PAPIClientSettings command.

  • For usePrefixes set to True, keep the prefix as you use the property commands.
  • For usePrefixes set to False, remove them and only send the value after the underscore (_).
