Creating a Policy

Creating policies is a pivotal step in configuring access control within the Zango platform. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a new policy:

1. Creating policies.json under module: Within the module folder of your app, create a file named policies.json. This file will contain the policy definitions.

      workspaces
      ├── YourApp
      │   ├── YourModule
      │       ├── templates
      │              ├── test.html
      │       ├── views.py
      │       ├── models.py
      │       ├── urls.py
      │       └── policies.json  --> Define policies here

2. policies.json format:

   {
      "policies": [
            {
                  "name": "PolicyName",
                  "description": "Description of the policy",
                  "statement": {
                     "permissions": [
                        {
                              "name": "customers.views.CustomerCrudView",
                              "type": "view"
                        }
                     ]
                  }
            },
            ...
      ]
   }

   List of policies can be defined under policies key.

   name: Name of the policy

   description: Description of the policy

   statement: Statement of the policy. Please refer to the refer to the Policy Config JSON section for more details on defining permissions.

Upon completing these steps, you can define the policies for the modules for your application in Zango. Now the next step is to Sync the policies.
