  4. Enter a policy name. Ensure that you are entering a unique policy name. It must be different from any other existing policy.

    (Optional) You can also enter a description for the policy.

  5. On the left of the policy content, edit the policy content in JSON.

    For details about how to build JSON policy statements, see SCP Syntax and Example SCPs.

    The Version value of a custom policy must be 5.0.

    When Effect is Allow, the Condition element is not allowed, that is, the condition key cannot be added.

  6. On the right of the policy content, use the policy editor to edit the actions, resources, and conditions of the custom policy.

    • Adding an action: Click + to add an action. The added action will appear under Available Actions, as shown in Figure 3.

    • Adding a resource: Only services available for resource-level authorization can be added. Click + to select a service for the action, and enter the URN to identify the specific resource you want to control access to, as shown in Figure 4.
