XACML Try allows users to test their policies easily, without creating and sending authorization requests to Identity Server. It is a UI tool through which authorization requests can be created and evaluated against available policies in the system. Users can create simple authorization requests using the web UI of the Try-It feature. By switching to “Create Request Using Editor” mode, it is possible to compose more complex authorization requests.
