Examples

Example 1: Create a direct assignment policy

A direct assignment policy is useful when access package assignment requests will only be created by an administrator, not by users themselves.

Request

The following example shows a request to create an access package assignment policy. In this policy, no users can request, no approval is required, and there are no access reviews.
