How do I create a policy from a JSON document?

There may be circumstances in which you are provided with a JSON document containing details of an access control policy.

Providing you are a LUSID user with sufficient privileges, you can use the LUSID web app to create a policy from the JSON document. Note if you are the LUSID domain owner, you are automatically assigned the built-in lusid-administrator role, which has all the permissions necessary to perform the operations in this article.

Once created, you should assign the policy to a role.

1. Log in to the LUSID web app using the credentials of a LUSID administrator.

2. From the left-hand menu, select Identity and Access > Policies:
   

3. On the Policies dashboard, click the Create policy button.

5. Paste the JSON document into the code box, overwriting the default content, and specify a unique Code.

6. Click the Create button to create the policy.
