# Creating a Policy in Oracle Cloud

Britive needs to manage privileges on users and groups in the onboarded Oracle Cloud account. Hence, you need to define policies in the Oracle Cloud account.

---

Perform the following steps to create a policy in Oracle Cloud:

1. Login to Oracle cloud console with administrator privileges.
2. Click **Identity & Security** from the navigation menu.
3. Select **Policies** from the **Identity** section.
4. Click **Create Policy**.
5. Enter the following in **Create Policy** page:
  1. Enter name and description.
  2. Select the root compartment.
  3. Select **Show manual editor** to add your own policy statements in the **Policy Builder**.
  4. Add the policy statements in the **Policy Builder**. For example, if the group name you have created for the users is **BritiveGroup**, you can add the policy statements in the following format:

Text

```none
Allow group BritiveGroup to use users in tenancy
Allow group BritiveGroup to use groups in tenancy
Allow group BritiveGroup to inspect policies in tenancy
```

Note that the format of the policy statements should match the following format:

Text

```none
Allow group [groupname] to [verb] [resource-type] in [compartment_name] where [condition]
```

**Note:**

**There should not be a space after each policy statement or any other syntax errors; else an error is displayed.**
  5. Click **Create**. The new policy is created.
