Rules

Description

A rule is the most elementary unit of policy. It may exist in isolation only within one of the major actors of the XACML domain. In order to exchange rules between major actors, they must be encapsulated in a policy. A rule can be evaluated on the basis of its contents.

A rule is composed by a target, an effect and a condition. It is able to add more than one rule to the policy.
