# 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 the 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 on the **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
Allow group BritiveGroup to inspect domains 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.
