How C1 Policies Work
Ali Falahi·Senior Solutions Engineer·3 min
See how C1’s hierarchical policies bring automation, flexibility, and intelligence to access reviews and approvals.
Main Takeaways
- Policies in C1 define who should review or approve a task and what actions should follow.
- They can evaluate real-time attributes like whether someone is on call, part of a specific team, or a senior engineer.
- Policies are hierarchical and can be applied at multiple layers (like app, entitlement, or review) depending on context.
- This layered design allows cascading rules, meaning a single policy can adapt dynamically based on conditions such as department or role.
- The result: fewer one-off policies, less manual work, and faster, smarter decision-making in identity governance.
