POLICY is a subsystem of ONAP that maintains, distributes, and operates on the set of rules that underlie ONAP’s control, orchestration, and management functions.
POLICY provides a logically centralized environment for the creation and management of policies, including conditional rules. This provides the capability to **create** and **validate** policies/rules, **identify overlaps**, **resolve conflicts**, and **derive** additional policies as needed. Policies are used to **control**, **influence**, and help **ensure compliance** with goals. Policies can support infrastructure, products and services, operation automation, and security. Users, including network and service designers, operations engineers, and security experts, can easily **create**, **change**, and **manage** policy rules from the POLICY Manager in the ONAP Portal.
