# How to create a DAC permission access policy

This document provides information on how to create an access policy for DAC permission.

1. In the **Segura™ Platform**, in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **EPM**.
2. In the side menu, select **Policies > Linux > Policies**.
3. In the **Policies** report, click **Add** and select **General**.
4. In the **General** tab, enter the following information:
  1. In the **Policy name *** field, enter a name to identify the policy.
  2. In the **Status *** field, select to enable or disable the policy.
  3. In the **Guideline *** field, select the guideline to perform the policy.
  4. In the **Checker (path or executor)** field, enter the command: `path="/bin/(app directory)" path.perm=(execution mask number) path.perm=(user group/user)`.
  5. In the **Enable audit? *** field, select to enable the auditing of policy actions.
  6. In the **Include general denial rule?** field, select to allow only registered rules and deny what is not in the rule.
  7. In the **Rules** field, click **+ Add** to enter the rules.
    1. Select **Allow** or **Lock** to allow or block access for the user or group, and enter the rule text in the format of policies in CaitSith. For example: `task.gid=(group name)` for groups or `task.uid=(user name)` for users.
    2. Click **Add** for each rule created.
  8. Click **Continue**.
5. In the **Review** tab, review the access policy and click **Save**.
