# About Conditions

Often when creating Policies, organizations may find it is useful to apply restrictions to the Policy. A common type of restriction is a Condition, which provides the organization with the ability to allow or restrict access based on environmental parameters such as:

* **Date & Time**: for example, allow weekend activity, restrict access based on time of day, etc.
* **IP**: allow or restrict based on a preconfigured IP range

* **Identity Attribute**: allow or restrict access based on an attribute associated to the Identity. For example, all users of a specific department; all users within a specific location (country, city, region, etc.), all users with a specific title.
* **Request Attribute**: allow or restrict access based on the value of a specific request parameter.


Conditions can be created in:

* On the Assets & Conditions tab of the {{variable.Policies Workspace former}}
* During the process of creating a new Policy in the [Policy Wizard](/v1/docs/policy-wizard).
