Managing Policies

WS-policy is one of many asset models supported by the WSO2 Governance Registry. Read more on Supported APIs & Standards for a complete list of asset models supported by WSO2 Governance Registry.

Users can import policies from user's local file system or from a given URL. The policy file will be added to the location where all the policies are stored.

Select whether to import the policy from a URL or upload it from a file. If importing from URL was selected, specify the URL of the policy, its name and version.

If uploading from file was selected, you can upload a single policy file or a ZIP file (in .zip or .gar extension). See Creating a Governance Archive. Use the Browse button to upload a file.

Listing policies

All the added policies can be viewed under List > Policies.
Information such as Policy Name, Policy Version, Life Cycle Status and Actions are displayed about policies.

When filtering the data using more than one value in the search field, use comma separated values with quotation marks to distinguish the values. E.g., if there are two entries with the words Connector and Resource, the search string would be: "Connector", "Resource".
A policy can be selected by the name of the policy.
