Managing policies

This chapter discusses how you can manage the policies in a running policy reasoner.

The first section focusses on obtaining access keys from your adminsitrator. Then, we discuss either managing the checker using the visual interface or using the terminal interface.

Acquiring keys

Before you begin, you need to have access to the reasoner in question. This is currently implemented as two JSON Web Tokens (JWTs): one is used to access the deliberation API of the checker, which is where Brane connects to check workflows; and the other is used to access the policy expert API of the checker, which is used to manage which policies are active. For full convenience, you should try to acquire both so you can test the checker yourself.

If your adminstrator is unsure how to do this (or you are the administrator), consult the relevant section of their part of the wiki.
