CreatePolicy

POST {{baseUrl}}/policies/

Creates a new policy in the specified compartment (either the tenancy or another of your compartments). If you're new to policies, see Getting Started with Policies.

You must specify a name for the policy, which must be unique across all policies in your tenancy and cannot be changed.

You must also specify a description for the policy (although it can be an empty string). It does not have to be unique, and you can change it anytime with UpdatePolicy.

You must specify one or more policy statements in the statements array. For information about writing policies, see How Policies Work and Common Policies.

After you send your request, the new object's lifecycleState will temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its lifecycleState has changed to ACTIVE.

New policies take effect typically within 10 seconds.

may be rejected).
