Enable or disable a plugin

Disable a plugin when you want to stop applying it for a while but keep its configuration, instead of deleting it.

warning

The change takes effect immediately on every Route / Service in the Scope of the plugin. For example, when you disable a JWT Auth plugin, those Routes no longer require a token.

  2. On the row of the plugin, click ⋮ → Disable (for an enabled plugin) or Enable (for a disabled plugin).

You can also use the switch in the Enabled column of the list. Both ways open the same confirmation dialog.
