    Types of governance

    Type Description
    Quotas Quotas are limitations or requirements for groups and users on CIs or cloud resources. Use quotas to prevent wasteful resource usage in your cloud environment.
    Policies A cloud policy can override a property value set by a user, create an approval task, reserve an IP address, pre-populate or hide form fields, execute custom scripts, call the Cloud API, or start or abort workflows. A cloud policy gives you system-wide control over approvals, resource operations, blueprint operations, or catalog item settings.
    Pools A resource pool is a query or script that filters a table. You configure a resource pool to limit the values that are available to users when they request a catalog item.
    Permissions Permissions are user group-level access rights to features in the Cloud Provisioning and Governance application and to specific records in the instance, such as blueprints or cloud accounts.
