# Opt in to Application Runtime Policy

# Opt in to Application Runtime Policy {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil

Enable Application Runtime Policy for an application that's in development by setting the policy mode on the custom application form.

## Before you begin

Role required: arp_admin or admin.

## About this task

Application Runtime Policy (ARP) is an opt-in feature. It must be activated for each custom application by setting the Application Runtime Policy field to the active state while the app is in development. The
mode selected when activating ARP determines whether the automatically-generated policy records require manual review and approval.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem ApplicationsMy Company Applications.
2. From the In Development tab, select the application for which you want to enable ARP.
3. In the Design and Runtime section of the custom application form, select one of the following options in the Application Runtime Policy field.

   | Value | Description |
   | None | The default. ARP is not enabled for this application and policies aren't automatically created. |
   | Tracking | ARP is enabled. Policy records are automatically created and approved as you exercise application functionality. Note: Tracking mode should only be used during application development. When you're ready to publish your application, change the ARP mode to Enforcing. |
   | Enforcing | ARP is enabled. Policy records are automatically created as you exercise application functionality, but out-of-scope access is blocked until you review and approve each policy record. |
   |-|-|

   For more information about ARP modes, see [Application Runtime Policy modes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/~rqS1R~GWk7ESpyopuhr~A "When enabled, Application Runtime Policy operates in two possible modes: Tracking and Enforcing. Tracking mode automatically allows out-of-scope access attempts, while Enforcing mode automatically blocks out-of-scope access attempts until you review them.").
4. Select Update to save the custom application form.

## Result

ARP is enabled for the application in the selected mode. When you exercise application functionality that accesses out-of-scope resources, ARP creates policy records in the applicable policy tables automatically.
