meshPolicies

meshPolicies are described in detail here. They can be set up between meshSubjects.

The following meshSubjects are available:

• meshWorkspace
• meshProject
• meshLandingZone
• meshUser/Group

You can see all existing meshPolicies in the Administration Area by navigating to Compliance > Policies. If you want to see all detected policy violations, you can go to to Compliance > Policy Violations in the Administration Area or on a workspace control plane.

Creating and Editing meshPolicy triggers an evaluation process of the meshPolicy. This process may take a while. After the process ends, you can see the violations caused by the (updated) meshPolicy in the Policy Violations.

Create meshPolicies

Policy creation is only possible for a user who has a partner role.

1. Navigate to Compliance > Policies.
2. Click on + Create Policy button in the top right corner. The button is only visible for users with the right permission.
3. Configure your meshPolicy.

• Policy Name: choose a human readable display name for the meshPolicy

• Description (optional): add a description to make everyone aware what your policy is about and why it is necessary

• Policy Subjects: select the subjects which shall be evaluated

• Policy Subject Tags: select a tag on both subjects that shall be evaluated against each other within this meshPolicy

• Policy Evaluation Strategy: select the evaluation strategy for how the subjects shall be evaluated (click here to learn more about the different strategies)

• How to fix (optional): provide an additional hint how users can resolve the situation when they violate a policy

After creating a meshPolicy, every meshSubjects defined in meshPolicy will be evaluated. All violations caused by the new meshPolicy will be logged. These can be either fixed by workspace managers or partner admins, by picking the right tag values.
