Author & publish a policy

Policies move through a lifecycle — draft → validate → publish — so a change is reviewable and every later decision records the version that produced it. See Authorization & policy.

  1. Create or edit a policy draft (Cedar).
  2. Validate it — catch syntax and reference errors, and simulate key decisions.
  3. Publish the version, which supersedes the previous one.
Create a policy draft
  1. Open Access → Policies → New.
  2. Write the Cedar policy in the editor; references resolve against the current environment.
Validate and publish a policy version
  1. Click Validate and resolve any errors; run a few simulations to confirm intent.
  2. Click Publish — the new version becomes active and supersedes the prior one.

Type set in Geist, Source Serif 4, and Departure Mono.
