# Managing Conditions

### Creating a Condition

          Note

          

You can create a Condition, as detailed below, in the Authorization Workspace or while creating a new Policy using the Policy Wizard in the WHEN step.

#### To create a Condition:

1. Select the relevant **Authorization Workspace**
2. Click the **Assets & Conditions** tab.
3. In the **Conditions** section, click **New Conditions**. The New Condition screen is displayed.
4. Enter the **Name** of the new Condition. It is recommended that you use a meaningful name to help others understand its purpose.
5. Enter a **Description** for the Condition (optional).
6. Select the **Type** of Condition to be created. Options are:
  - Date & Time
  - IP
  - Identity Attribute
  - Request Attribute
7. In the **Define Condition Rules** section, enter the required information (see below).
8. Click **Create**. The Condition is created, and the **Condition Details** screen is displayed. The Condition is listed in the Conditions area of the Authorization Workspace.

### About Date & Time Conditions

When defining a Date & Time Condition, you can specify the following options:

- **Months:** Options include **All**, a single month, or any combination of specific months of the year.
- **Days:** Options include **All**, a single day, or any combination of specific days of the week.
- **Time:** Options include **All Day** (24 hours), or you can deselect **All Day** and specify a start and end time, along with the appropriate time zone.
- **Starting Date/Ending Date:** You can specify a start and end date for when the Condition is active, or just a start date or end date.

You can use the **OR** option to specify another Time & Date range, creating a more complex rule.

### About IP Conditions

When defining an IP Condition, you can specify the following options:

1. **Access Type:** Options are Allow or Restrict.
2. **IP Range:** Specify a valid CIDR IP range.

### About Identity Attribute Conditions

When defining an Identity Attribute Condition, you can specify one or more rules:

1. Select an Identity Attribute from the drop-down list. The **Type** field (Numeric or String) is populated automatically.
2. Select the appropriate operator: **Equals**, **Not Equals**, **Greater than**, **Less than**, **In**, or **Not In**.
3. Enter a value.
4. To add another rule, click **And** or **OR** and define the elements of the rule again.

*This Condition can also be used in SaaS Applications like [Snowflake](/v1/docs/snowflake-1) and [Databricks](/v1/docs/databricks).*

### About Request Attribute Conditions

When defining a Request Attribute Condition, you can specify one or more rules. A Request Attribute is an external parameter sent through the Request that factors into the Policy at run time:

1. Select a **Request Attribute** from the drop-down list.
2. Configure the **Type** field (Numeric or String) of the Attribute value.
3. Select the appropriate operator: **Equals**, **Not Equals**, **Greater than**, or **Less than**.
4. Enter a value.
5. To add another rule, click **And** or **OR** and define the rule elements again.
