# Adding policies

Policies allow you to configure things like access to resources, blocked domains, user experience, and so on.

To add a policy:

1. Navigate to the **Policies** category.
2. Click **Add**.
3. Configure the general policy settings:
   * **Name**: The name of the policy.
   * (Optional) **Description**: The description of the policy.
4. Configure settings in the **Profile** section. This section allows you to create an isolation profile based on users, groups, locations, time zones, and so on.
   * **Users**: Users affected by this policy. Find the user in the Users drop-down menu and click the Add button to the right. Added users will appear in the list below.
   * **Groups**: User groups affected by this policy. Find the group in the **Groups** drop-down menu and click the **Add** button to the right. Added groups will appear in the list below.
   * **Active Hours**: The time period when the policy will be active.
   * **Location**: Locations where the users are affected by this policy. Find the location in the **Country** drop-down menu and the **Add** button to the right. Added locations will appear in the list below.
5. Configure settings in the **Security controls** section. This section allows you to configure specific use cases or features like preventing uploading or downloading, restricting printing, or blocking an URL.
   * **Policy Features** define the restrictions applied within a policy, such as limiting:

     * Keyboard access
     * Printing
     * File downloads
     * File uploads
     * Clipboard access

   * **End User Experience** indicators show when a session is protected by Parallels Browser Isolation (PBI):
     * **Tab Indicator** – An “\*” on the tab shows the session is secure
     * **Blue Frame/Border** – A visible blue outline indicates the session is protected
     * **Toast Notification** – A pop-up informs users about active policies
     * **Watermarking** – Adds a watermark to the session for an extra layer of data loss prevention

   * **Restrict domains**: The URLs that are blocked under the policy. Specify the domain you want to block in the **Block domain** field and click the **Add** button to the right. Added URLs will appear in the list below. You can add several domains simultaneously by clicking the **Add from File** button and selecting a .csv file with the list of domains.
6. Click **Save**.
7. To apply the policy to an application, navigate to the [**Applications**](/landing/pbi-guides/parallels-browser-isolation-administrators-guide/parallels-browser-isolation-interface/applications.md) category and edit the application accordingly. You can see the list of applications the policy is applied to in the **Usage** section of the policy settings.

Now your users can access all published resources using Parallels Web Client.
