Manage access control policies

Access control policies are statements that bring attributes together to establish permissible and impermissible actions. Adobe provides a default policy that can be activated immediately or when your organization is ready to start controlling access to specific objects based on labels. The default policy, Default-Label-Based-Access-Control-Policy, leverages labels applied to resources to deny access unless users are in a role with a matching label.

IMPORTANT
Access control policies should not to be confused with data usage policies, which control how data is used in Adobe Experience Platform. See the guide on creating data usage policies for more information.

IMPORTANT
By default, Auto-include is turned on, which means all current and future sandboxes are automatically added to the policy.

Toggle off the Auto-include feature to stop future sandboxes from being automatically added to the policy. Toggling off the feature will not remove any sandboxes from the policy.
