**Create a Policy**

Learn how to create a policy to grant roles to users or groups.

A [policy](/docs/platform/iam/policies.md) connects one or more groups, users, or API clients with a set of roles, granting permissions across your Confidence workspace.

## Create a Policy

**1. Go to Policies**

Go to **Admin > Policies**.

**2. Click Create**

Click **Create** to open the create policy dialog.

**3. Add principals**

In the **Principals** field, add the people and groups you want to grant roles to.

**4. Add roles**

In the **Roles** field, select one or more roles to assign to the principals.

**5. Save the policy**

Click **Create** to save the policy.

> [!TIP]
>
> Use policies to grant permissions globally. When you give a user or group a role via a policy, that group has that role for all resources that the role governs. For more granular control, use manual permissions on individual resources instead.
