# Policies

> Grant account-wide permissions by connecting users, groups, and API clients to roles through policies.

Confidence checks all permissions on a per-resource level. Even though this is incredibly powerful sometimes
you want to grant permissions to the entire account.
A policy connects one or more groups, users, API Clients with a set of roles.

## Everyone

Confidence manages a special group called *Everyone* which allows you to grant some roles to every user who logs in and
every API Client. Using this special *Everyone* it's possible to set up a default baseline set of permissions.
