Access Policies

An access policy is a combination of an entity and its specific access permissions for a specific asset.

There are two main types of access policies:

  • Grouping: group accounts or other groupings together

  • Permission: grant A access to B with privilege Y

Examples:

  • A group through which someone gains access to a resource or entity

  • A direct access to a resource with certain privileges

  • Assignment to a role in AWS

  • Profile assigned to a user in Salesforce (SF Profile=Group)

To view the Access Policies page:

From the left navigation, select Inventory, then Access Policies.
