For more information about role-based access control, see </span><span style="color: #000000">*[Managing Role Based Access Control](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/35463223)*</span><span style="color: #000000">.</span>

- <span style="color: #000000">**ACCESS POLICY**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The name of the access policy.</span>
- <span style="color: #000000">**ROLE**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The name of the user role that is associated with this access policy.</span>
- <span style="color: #000000">**USER GROUP**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The name of the user group to which you apply the selected user role.</span>
- <span style="color: #000000">**DESCRIPTION**</span><span style="color: #000000">: The description of this access policy.</span>
- <span style="color: #172b4d">**ACCESS VIEW**</span><span style="color: #172b4d">: The access view that is associated with this access policy. For more information, see </span><span style="color: #172b4d">*[Configuring Access Views](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/680362523)*</span><span style="color: #172b4d">.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">An access policy applies a specific role to a specific user group to grant the set of permissions defined in the user role to all the users in the user group, allowing the users to perform specific tasks for the granted services. For example, the </span><span style="color: #000000">**Access Control Administrators Policy**</span><span style="color: #000000"> applies the </span><span style="color: #000000">**Access Control Administrator Role**</span><span style="color: #000000"> to the access control administrator user group (</span><span style="color: #000000">**ib-access-control-admin**</span><span style="color: #000000">), so all the users in </span><span style="color: #000000">**ib-access-conrol-admin**</span><span style="color: #000000"> are allowed to access the Infoblox Portal and are able to view and configure licenses, users, user groups, and access policies.</span>

If you plan to add users to specific user groups for access views, note that only interactive (logged-in) users can fully utilize the access view functionality. Service users or users relying on API tokens will encounter limitations when assigned to multiple access views. For more information, see *[About Access Views](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/680362600)*.

<span style="color: #000000">Infoblox Portal provides the following default access policies and their corresponding user roles and user groups for a quick-start configuration, so all you need to do is simply add new users to the correct user groups for them to gain access to their authorized services and tasks. You can also create new access policies based on your business needs.</span>
