Add Users to a Policy

You can add individual users, user groups, or both to a policy and create a policy binding between the added users and the policy. When a user tries to access a protected resource, the policy verifies that the user is part of its policy binding and then fires the rules included in the policy to see if the user is allowed to access the resource.

To add users to a policy

1. Click the Users tab on the Policy pane.

   The User Directories pane opens and contains group boxes for each user directory associated with the policy domain.

2. Add users or groups from the user directory to the policy.

   From within each user directory group box, you can choose Add Members, Add Entry, Add All. Depending on which method you use to add users to the policy, a dialog box will open enabling you to add users.

   Note: If you select Add Members, the User/Groups pane opens. Individual users are not displayed automatically. Use the search utility to find a specific user within one of the directories.

   You can edit or delete a user or group by clicking the right arrow (>) or minus sign (-), respectively.

3. Select individual users, user groups, or both using whatever method and click OK.

   The User Directories pane reopens and lists the policy's new users on the user directory's group box.

The task of binding users to the policy is complete.
