# Create Policy

Create a new custom policy for project.

A **policy** is a reusable set of permissions (allow/deny rules over modules and actions). Policies are attached to roles; a user's effective permissions are the union of the policies on all their roles.

This endpoint creates the policy; the response returns its id.
