Creating a Custom Policy

Scenarios

Custom policies can be created as a supplement to the system permissions of Workspace.

You can create custom policies in either of the following ways:

• Visual editor: Select cloud services, actions, resources, and request conditions. This does not require knowledge of policy syntax.
• JSON: Create a JSON policy or edit an existing one.

For details about how to create custom policies, see Creating a Custom Policy. The section contains examples of common Workspace custom policies.

Policy Examples

• Example 1: Assigning the permissions for desktop startup and shutdown to users.
