<span style="color: #000000">Infoblox provides predefined access policies so you can quickly set up your role-based access control. You can also add new access policies to grant specific permissions to specific user</span><span style="color: #172b4d">s and access views </span><span style="color: #000000">based on your business needs. </span><span style="color: #172b4d">For information about access views, see</span><span style="color: #ff0000"> </span><span style="color: #ff0000">*[About Access Views](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/680362600)*</span><span style="color: #ff0000">.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">To add a new access policy, complete the following:</span>

1. <span style="color: #000000">Log in to Infoblox Portal.</span>
2. <span style="color: #000000">Go to </span><span style="color: #000000">**System**</span><span style="color: #000000"> > </span><span style="color: #000000">**Administration**</span><span style="color: #000000"> > </span><span style="color: #000000">**User Access > Access Policy**</span><span style="color: #000000">.</span>
3. <span style="color: #000000">Click </span><span style="color: #000000">**Create Access Policy**</span><span style="color: #000000">.</span>
4. <span style="color: #000000">In the </span><span style="color: #000000">**Create Access Policy**</span><span style="color: #000000"> dialog, complete the following:</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">**Name**</span><span style="color: #000000">: Enter the name of the access policy you want to add. If you create a new policy, ensure that you enter a name that reflects the function of this policy.</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">**Description**</span><span style="color: #000000">: Enter a description of this access policy.</span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">**Role**</span><span style="color: #000000">: From the drop-down menu, select the user role you want to apply to the user group for this access policy. If you plan to configure access views, ensure that you select a role that supports access views. Otherwise, when you try to select a access view in the </span><span style="color: #000000">**Access View**</span><span style="color: #000000"> field below, the unsupported role will be removed and you will need to re-select a supported role. Access view supports only the </span><span style="color: #000000">**DDI IPAM Manager Role, DDI IPAM Operator Role**</span><span style="color: #000000">, </span><span style="color: #000000">**DDI IPAM Auditor Role**</span><span style="color: #000000"> and </span><span style="color: #000000">**DDI IPAM User Role**</span><span style="color: #000000"> in this release. Other roles will be supported in future releases. </span>
  - <span style="color: #000000">**User Group**</span><span style="color: #000000">: From the drop-down menu, select the user group you want to use for this access policy. Note that all users in the user group will assume the access permissions to the applicable services and responsibilities in the selected user role. Ensure that you understand the set of permissions in the user role that you plan to grant to this user group.</span>
  - <span style="color: #172b4d">**Access View**</span><span style="color: #172b4d">: From the drop-down menu, select the access view to which you want to assign the access policy. You can use the search function to quickly locate a specific access view. If you have selected a role that does not support access views (in the </span><span style="color: #172b4d">**Role**</span><span style="color: #172b4d"> field above), the role will be removed and you will need to re-select a role that supports access views. For information about access views and how to use them, see</span> *[Configuring Access Views](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneCloud/pages/680362523)*.
5. <span style="color: #000000">Click </span><span style="color: #000000">**Save & Close**</span><span style="color: #000000"> to add the access policy.</span>
