# Registries

{% hint style="warning" %}
If access to an environment is being managed by a Docker registry [policy](https://docs.portainer.io/sts/admin/environments/policies), access can not be changed or modified from this view as the policy access takes precedence. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Registry access assigned here only applies to the selected environment. It is not global.
{% endhint %}

This view lets you manage access to each of the registries that are currently available.
