Defining Policies

Policies are composed of general information about the purpose, ownership, and general behavior of the policy, and rules that are define how the policy works. Policies monitor for identities that are in violation of the rules defined in the policy. For example, a separation of duties policy can disallow one identity from requesting and approving purchase orders. An activity policy can disallow an identity with the Human Resource role from updating the payroll application even though the identity has view access to that application.
