# 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 an intersection; Kloudfuse uses the `AND` logical operator. |

The topics include:
