Plans must be managed within the scope of an organization. Once created, plans can be used for any API defined within that same organization. To view all plans your user is allowed to see, go to tab My Plans in the navigation bar. The plans are listed by organizations.
For detailed information about navigating and filtering the list refer to Working With the API Management.
