# Create a group policy

Use this tutorial to apply shared standards to one app group.

### Before you start

* You need the **Group Administrator** role for the target group.
* The app group must already exist.
* Policy management must be enabled.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the policy manager

Go to [Policies](/administration/policies.md).

Choose the group policy scope.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select the target group

Open the policy for the group you manage.

If the group does not have its own policy yet, create one first.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure the group rules

Start from the inherited policy.

Add stricter rules only where the group needs them.

Keep mandatory global rules unchanged.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save and validate

Apply the policy changes.

Then open [Dashboards → Policies](/dashboards/policies.md) and review apps from the group.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
