# Applying Policies

Policies consist of a combination of permissions. You apply policies to your users and can also apply users to policies.

* [Apply a Policy to a User](/products/control-panel/security/policies/applying-policies#applying-policies)
* [Applying Users to Policies](/products/control-panel/security/policies/applying-policies#applying-users-to-policies)


If you change permissions within a policy, the effect is immediate (after the changes are saved) and the permission changes affect all the users who are assigned to the policy.

1. Open Treasure Console.
2. Navigate to **Control Panel** > **Policies**.
