Create an Access Policy

Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016

You can use this topic to create an access policy in the IPAM client console.

Membership in Administrators, or equivalent, is the minimum required to perform this procedure.

Note

You can create an access policy for a specific user or for a user group in Active Directory. When you create an access policy, you must select either a built-in IPAM role or a custom role that you have created. For more information on custom roles, see Create a User Role for Access Control.
