Manage PaCE policy categories and tags

Use categories and tags to manage and group your PaCE policies more efficiently. As the policy administrator, you can create and edit any number of categories and tags.

You must have the sn_pace.admin role to manage categories and tags.

Policy categories and how to use them

Policy categories enable you to categorize your policies into relevant groups or sections.

You can create any number of categories, but only one category can be assigned at any one time to a policy. Categories can include product or industry-specific terms, such as PCI, HIPAA, or FedRAMP. If a PCI or HIPAA-specific update must be applied to a policy, select the relevant category to locate and update the policies under that category.

When creating or updating the policy with a category, the category must be pre-defined.

Policy tags and how to use them

Policy tags enable you to define a policy with relevant reference tags. These tags can be defined according to your requirements, providing an element of flexibility to your policy management. For example, if a group of users have access to some policies, you can create a meaningful tag or a set of tags only for those policies.

You can add any number of tags to a policy, and also configure who can view the tags. You can also add tags on-the-fly as you view or edit policies.

Tags can be especially useful in collaboration efforts, in turn making the entire policy life-cycle easier to manage.
