  1. Check SEA-vBIGIP01.termmarc.com (partition tenant1) Local Traffic > Pools and find Pool. It will have tenant1/https_app_service as the partition/path (or use search). Select Pool and go to members.

  1. Now back to the BIG-IQ and tenant1_https_app_service application service. Click on View Sample API Request in the right upper corner. This will display the full AS3 declaration generated by BIG-IQ user interface. Scroll down and find pool member added to the declaration.

The GUI only allows you to modify what has been permitted (made editable) when the template was created.

Through the API, you can modify the AS3 application service once deployed by doing a PATCH or re-sending the full declaration through a POST (see Module 2 for more details on BIG-IQ and AS3 using the API).
