# Select the allowed policies

Assign Policy or Template Policy permissions for engines.

## Before you begin

Your administrator account must have editing permissions to the engine element.

##

By default, any policy can be installed on any engine as long as the policy is of appropriate type for the type of engine. To prevent accidental installations of the wrong policy, you can select the allowed policy for each engine in the engine element’s properties. The policy selection is enforced regardless of the administrator permissions that the installing administrator has.
