# Create a Docker, Swarm or Podman RBAC policy
Define a policy based on access permissions and role-based access control for Docker, Swarm or Podman environments.
To create a RBAC policy, in the menu, under **Environment-related**, select **Policies** then select **Create policy**. From the policy type list, navigate to the **Docker** > **RBAC** section, select **Custom** then select **Continue** to begin configuring the policy.

Currently, only custom RBAC policies can be created. Future improvements to the policies feature will introduce policy templates.
