# Create Policy

A **policy** is a reusable set of permissions (allow/deny rules over modules and actions). Policies are attached to roles; a user's effective permissions are the union of the policies on all their roles. This method creates the policy; the response returns its id.

This method is on the **Hub** surface (`norbix.hub.membership`) — call it from admin tooling or IaC.

{% hint style="info" %}
These examples assume the SDK is installed and your credentials are set as environment variables — each client reads them automatically, so the constructors below take no arguments. See [Install a Norbix SDK](/sdks-and-cli/install.md).
