Policies bind other Policy Server objects together into a logical group that determines how the objects should interact. By linking together users that are accessible through directory connections, rules that point to specific resources, and responses that define actions, policies define who is authorized to access resources. Responses included in policies can also provide personalization by retrieving directory attributes when a user accesses a resource.
When one of the users specified in a policy attempts to access a resource identified in one of the policy's rules, the Policy Server uses the information contained in the policy to resolve whether or not the user can access the resource, and if any personalization should take place.
More advanced policies can be restricted to certain time periods or certain user IP addresses. This allows administrators of a group of resources a finer control over their resources.
