Policies are applied to SSH/Telnet, SQL, and HTTP connections. RDP and SFTP connections do not need policies. Policies might be White Key and/or Black Key. White Key policies allow users to use white key commands, and Black Key policies restrict users to using black key commands. 

Policies are created based on Regex Classes:

-  “**. \***” means all commands.
- If “**. \***” is used after a command, it means all commands starting with that command.

To create a White Key Policy:

1. Navigate to **Policy **> **Policy.** 
2. Click the blue **Add **button and a pop-up will appear.
3. Select the **Type** as **White Key.**
4.  Click **Next.**

To create a Black Key Policy:

1. Navigate to **Policy **> **Policy.** 
2. Click the blue **Add **button and a pop-up will appear.
3. Select the **Type** as **Black Key.**
4. Click **Next.**
