How can I configure WSO2 API Manager, So that throttling level(Service Level) will be decided by admin?

Question

I'm using WSO2 API Manager for publishing APIs, creating and managing a developer community. I have come across a problem with handling throttling levels(Service Level). In WSO2 API Manager, developer decides the throttling level(Service Level) he wants. It could be Bronze, Gold, Silver, Unlimited. Could it be configured other way around. What I mean is admin can decide what level of throttling is available for a particular user. Obviously developer will not go for Bronze, Gold or Silver when he could get Unlimited throttling level.

How can I configure WSO2 API Manager, So that throttling level(Service Level) will be decided by admin?

Update

I'm referring to the Application developers. As for now, application developer decides which throttling level he needs according to what's available. How to set different throttling levels to different application developers? Eventually admin will decide which application developer has which throttling level?

EX: Even thought an application developer subscribe to a higher throttling level such as unlimited admin can review and change it to lower throttling level.

I'm not sure if you mean Application developer or API Developer (API Creator) when you use the term developer. There is an option to control Tiers available for an Application Developer. Application Developers Sign-up in the Store, Create/Register Applications and then Subscribe to different APIs. It's at the time of subscribing, the effective tier for that subscription is selected. When creating the API , even you allow multiple tiers, you can specify what roles should be allowed what tiers. So even an API have Gold,Bronze and Unlimited tiers, if the Unlimited is only allowed for admin role, only those App Developers having the admin role will be able to create a subscription with Unlimited tier. This doc explains more about this feature.
