Use policies to validate data

Advanced Identity Cloud provides a policy service that lets you apply specific validation requirements to various components and properties.

The policy service provides a REST interface for reading policy requirements and validating the properties of components against configured policies. Objects and properties are validated automatically when they are created, updated, or patched. Policies are generally applied to user passwords, but can also be applied to any managed or system object, and to internal user objects.

The policy service lets you accomplish the following tasks:

The router service limits policy validation to managed and internal user objects. To apply policies to additional objects, such as the audit service, modify your project’s router configuration. For more information about the router service, refer to Script triggers defined in the router configuration.

A configurable default policy applies to all managed objects.
