# Manage Policies

Policies are filters that determine the access that users and groups 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 an intersection (in other words, it uses the AND logical operator). |

To manage policies, follow these steps:

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

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:
   
   - [Change a Policy](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.2.5/admin-policy-management/#policy-change)
   
   - [Add a New Policy](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.2.5/admin-policy-management/#policy-add-new)
   
   - [Delete a Policy](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.2.5/admin-policy-management/#policy-delete)

## Change a Policy  
To change an existing policy, follow these steps:

1. Hover your pointer over the **Scope** field of the policy you plan to change.

2. When the **Edit** (pencil) icon appears, click on it.

3. The **Edit Policy** interface appears.

- You can change the **Name** of the policy, its **Type**, and its **Key** (the Operator / Value) tuple.
   
   - You can build the key using logical operators, or regex expressions.
   
   - You can also delete the existing key, and add another key as a filter.

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

5. Click **Save Policy**.

6. Kloudfuse confirms that you successfully changed the policy.

Note the changes in the policy as it appears on the **Policy Management** interface.

## Add a New Policy
To add a new policy, follow these steps:

1. Click the **Add New Policy** button.

2. The **Add Policy** interface appears.

3. In the interface, specify these fields:
   
   Name

Choose a meaningful and descriptive name for your new policy
   
   Type

The options are Custom (default), All, or None.
   
   You can build custom policies using the **Key/Operator/Value** specification.

4. Here, we specify a custom policy **_test1_** with **Key** `kube_namespace`, **Operator** = (equals), and **Value** `octel`.

5. \[Optional\] You can use multiple filters to define your custom policies.

Click the **Add Filter** button and proceed.

6. After you finish defining your new policy, click **Save Policy**.

Kloudfuse confirms that you successfully created a new policy.

Note that the new policy appears on the **Policy Management** interface.

## Delete a Policy
To delete an existing policy from your RBAC configuration, follow these steps:

1. Hover your pointer over the **Scope** field of the policy you plan to delete from the system.

2. When the **Delete** (trashcan) icon appears, click it.

3. Kloudfuse prompts you to confirm deleting the policy.

You can click **Delete** to confirm, or **Cancel** to stop deleting the policy.

You should see a notification that Kloudfuse deleted the policy successfully.

The **Group Management** interface no longer lists the policy **_test1_**.
