# Use cases

Here are some of the use cases of the policy-based access control.

## Use case 1

**Assigning an application management access to a test user.**

The Britive navigation tiles are displayed as per the access granted to the user. Once an Admin creates any user, that user has bare minimal access to the app, just the **MyAccess** tab is available.

An admin creates a *TestUser* from **System admin**->**Identity Management** tab.

To grant access to the application management for this user *TestUser*, follow this procedure:

1. Click on **System admin**-> **Role & Policy Management**.
2. Click on **Policies** tab.
3. Click **Add Policy** to create a new policy.
4. Enter *AppAdminPolicy* as **Policy Name**.
5. Click **Members**-> **Users.**
6. Select *Test User * in the **Select Users**.
7. Click **Permissions,**select **Add Existing Permission** and select **ApplicationAdminPermission** and click **Add**.
8. Click **Save and Enable** to enable this policy.
9. Log in as a *TestUser*. In the navigation menu, you can see **Admin** along with **MyAccess**.
10. Click **Admin** to see the **Tenant Applications** tile available to *TestUser* to manage all applications.

## Use case 2

**Adding a member (a test user) to a predefined policy *TenantAdminPolicy* to grant that user the system administration access.**

*TenantAdminPolicy* is a predefined policy that provides system administration access to the assigned members. By default, root user is added to this policy. To add a test user 'TestUser' to this policy, follow this procedure:

1. Click on **System admin**-> **Role & Policy Management**.
2. Click on the **Policies** tab.
3. Search and select *TenantAdminPolicy* from the list of policies.
4. Click **Manage policy**.
5. Click **Edit** to update this policy.
6. From **Users** -> **Select Users** and enter the test user name.
7. Click **Save**.
8. Log in using the test user to see all the system administrative access given to the user.

## Use case 3

**Creating a policy to give view/manage access to a particular application in Tenant Applications.**

We need to add two permissions in a policy:

- One permission for listing all resources (*)
- One permission for a specific application with View/Manage permission

1. Click on **System admin**-> **Role & Policy Management**.
2. Click on the **Permissions** tab.
3. Select **apps** in the **Consumer** drop-down.
4. Click **Add Permission**to add customized permission.
  1. Select **Applications** in the **Consumer** list.
  2. Select **All** in the **Resources** list.
  3. Select **apps.app.list** in the **Action** list.
  4. Click **Save**.
5. Click **Add Permission**again to create a new permission.
  1. Select **Applications** in the **Consumer** list.
  2. Select a specific application from the **Resources** list.
  3. Select **apps.app.view** and **apps.app.manage** in the **Action** list.
  4. Click **Save**.
6. Select **Policies** from the **Role & Policy Management**.
7. Click **Add Policy**.
8. Enter the policy name and description.
9. In the **Permissions** tab, select **Add Existing Permission** and select the permission created just above these steps.
10. Click **Add**.
11. Click **Save & Enable** to save this customized policy.
12. Login using the test user and click the **Tenant Applications** tile.
13. The user can access only the application selected while creating permission during step 5.2, the access is denied for the rest of the applications.
