| 20 | +## Policy |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +A [Policy](/docs/capabilities/authorization.mdx) defines what permissions a set of users or groups has. Policies are applied to Namespaces or Routes to associate the set of permissions with a service or set of service, completing the authentication model. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Policies can be constructed three ways: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +### Web UI |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +From the **BUILDER** tab, users can add allow or deny blocks to a policy, containing and/or/not/nor logic to allow or deny sets of users and groups. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Policies can be constructed three ways: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### Pomerium Policy Language |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +From the **EDITOR** tab users can write policies in Pomerium Policy Language (**PPL**), a YAML-based notation. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +PPL documents contain one or more rules. Each rule has a corresponding action and one or more logical operators. Each logical operator contains criteria and each criterion has a name and corresponding data. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +PPL documents are defined via YAML: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```yaml |
| 45 | +- allow: |
| 46 | + or: |
| 47 | + - email: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + - email: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | +
|
| 53 | +The available rule actions are: |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | +- `allow` |
| 56 | +- `deny` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The available logical operators are: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +- `and` |
| 61 | +- `or` |
| 62 | +- `not` |
| 63 | +- `nor` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +The available criteria types are: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +- `accept` |
| 68 | +- `authenticated_user` |
| 69 | +- `claim` |
| 70 | +- `date` |
| 71 | +- `day_of_week` |
| 72 | +- `domain` |
| 73 | +- `email` |
| 74 | +- `groups` |
| 75 | +- `http_method` |
| 76 | +- `http_path` |
| 77 | +- `record` |
| 78 | +- `reject` |
| 79 | +- `time_of_day` |
| 80 | +- `user` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Some criteria also support a sub-path as part of the criterion name: |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +```yaml |
| 85 | +- allow: |
| 86 | + or: |
| 87 | + - claim/family_name: Smith |
| 88 | +``` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +See [Pomerium Policy Language](/docs/capabilities/ppl) for more details. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### Rego |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +For those using [OPA](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/), the **REGO** tab will accept policies written in Rego. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +:::tip |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +A policy can only support PPL or Rego. Once one is set, the other tab is disabled. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +::: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +<details> |
| 103 | +<summary>Example Rego Policy</summary> |
| 104 | +<div> |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +This example policy compares the `given_name` claim from a user's session against a list of popular first names, and only allows the 100 most popular first names. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +```rego |
| 109 | +package pomerium.policy |
| 110 | +session = s { |
| 111 | + s = gset_databroker_record("type.googleapis.com/user.ServiceAccount", input.session.id) |
| 112 | + s != null |
| 113 | +} else = s { |
| 114 | + s = get_databroker_record("type.googleapis.com/session.Session", input.session.id) |
| 115 | + s != null |
| 116 | +} else = {} { |
| 117 | + true |
| 118 | +} |
| 119 | +user = u { |
| 120 | + u = get_databroker_record("type.googleapis.com/user.User", session.user_id) |
| 121 | +} else = {} { |
| 122 | + true |
| 123 | +} |
| 124 | +allow = [true, {"custom-rego-authorized"}] { |
| 125 | + # grab all the claims from the user and session objects |
| 126 | + session_claims := object.get(session, "claims", {}) |
| 127 | + user_claims := object.get(user, "claims", {}) |
| 128 | + all_claims := object.union(session_claims, user_claims) |
| 129 | + # get the given_name claim. claim values are always an array of strings |
| 130 | + given_names := object.get(all_claims, "given_name", []) |
| 131 | + # query a JSON dump of the most popular baby names from 2020 |
| 132 | + response := http.send({ |
| 133 | + "method": "GET", |
| 134 | + "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aruljohn/popular-baby-names/master/2020/boy_names_2020.json", |
| 135 | + "force_json_decode": true, |
| 136 | + }) |
| 137 | + # only include the top 100 names |
| 138 | + all_names := response.body.names |
| 139 | + popular_names := array.slice(all_names, 0, 99) |
| 140 | + # check that there's a given name in the popular names |
| 141 | + some i |
| 142 | + some j |
| 143 | + popular_names[i] == given_names[j] |
| 144 | +} else = [false, {"custom-rego-unauthorized"}] { |
| 145 | + session.id != "" |
| 146 | +} else = [false, {"user-unauthenticated"}] { |
| 147 | + true |
| 148 | +} |
| 149 | +``` |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +This example pulls session data from the Databroker service using `type.googleapis.com/session.Session` for users and `type.googleapis.com/user.ServiceAccount` for service accounts. |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +</div> |
| 154 | +</details> |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +### Overrides |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +- **Any Authenticated User**: This setting will allow access to a route with this policy attached to any user who can authenticate to your Identity Provider (**IdP**). |
| 159 | +- **CORS Preflight**: Allow unauthenticated HTTP OPTIONS requests as per the CORS spec. |
| 160 | +- **Public Access**: This setting allows complete, unrestricted access to an associated route. Use this setting with caution. |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +## Devices |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +Introduced in v0.16.0, the **Manage Devices** page lets administrators manage user devices for policy-based authorization. |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +### Manage Devices |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +<ManageDevices /> |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +### Devices List |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +Displays the currently enrolled devices for each user, along with their current approval status. Administrators can inspect, approve, or delete registered devices from this table. |
