Manage Policies

Policies are filters that determine the access that users and group have to various assets and artifacts of their organization.

  • Policies must have unique names.

  • When a user has multiple policies due to membership in multiple groups, these policy filters apply as a union (in other words, it uses the OR logical operator).

To manage policies, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Admin tab, and then the Policy Management option in the drop-down menu.

    Navigate to the Policy Management interface

  2. The Policy Management interface appears.

    It has the following components:

    1. Search bar to locate specific policies

    2. The Add New Policy button.

    3. List of policies, including the Policy Name, Type, and Scope.

  3. Proceed to make changes, as described in:

    • You can change the Name of the policy, its Type, and its Key (the Operator / Value) tuple.

  4. Here, we are changing the namespace_only policy by swapping the operator = (equal) to =~ (regex similar to).
