# Step 7.2. Define XACML policy set to use a workflow

## Step-by-step

<span style="color: #a6d100; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">1. </span>To define policies, you must access the XACML Policy Management page in the following path:

`Main Menu > Administration > Configure Soffid > Security settings > XACML Policy Management`

<span style="color: #a6d100; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">2. </span>Once you have accessed the XACML Policy Management page, you can click the add button (+) to create a new policy set, or you can click on an existing policy set the record to add new policies.

<span style="color: #a6d100; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">2.1. </span>Update a policy set: If you want to update an existing policy you must check if the proper PEP was configured with that policy set.

<span style="color: #a6d100; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">2.2. </span>Create a new policy set: first of all you must click the add button (+). Then Soffid will display an empty window to fill in the required fields.

- - - The **Identifier** should be an identificative and unique name. You will need the name to configure the PEP
        - The **Version** should be a number to identify the current policy version. You will need the version to configure the PEP.
        - The **Description** should be a brief description of the agent.
        - The **Policy Combining Algorithm** allows you to select the procedure for arriving at an authorization decision.

<span style="color: #a6d100; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">2.3. </span>You need to click on the "Apply changes" button to save the new policy set or to update an existing policy set.

<span style="color: #a6d100; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">3. </span>Once you have created or updated the policy set, you could add new policy sets, policies, policy references, and/or policy set references.

<p class="callout info">For more information, you can visit the [XACML Book](https://bookstack.soffid.com/books/xacml) where you could find information about how to use XACML and some examples.</p>

<span style="color: #a6d100; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">4. </span>Finally, you must check and configure the XACML PEP configuration.
