Creating a New Policy

From the Security > Policies console, Administrators can create new policies in XpoLog.

A policy defines the actions that a user or group that is assigned this policy, can perform. All actions of a specific component (categories) (such as Analytics, Monitors, Search, and more), or specific actions can be permitted under a specific policy. Selecting a parent component automatically permits all the components underneath it. 

Defining a policy without selecting any permissions defines a View Only permission for folders and logs, and no permission for all other components in XpoLog.

To create a policy:

1. In the Policies console, click Add Policy.
   The Policy Settings console opens. 

2. In Policy name, type a name to identify the new policy.

3. In Display Name, type the name that is to be displayed across the system.

4. In Description, type a description of the new policy; optional.

5. Under Permissions List, select the checkboxes of components or actions that are permitted to users of this policy

6. Click Save.
   The Operation done page appears, with the message:"Policies operation ended successfully". 

7. Click ok.
   The Policies console opens, with the newly added policy under the Policies list.
