| The POLICY GUI is a graphical user interface, available via web-access, for **creating and managing** policies.   
|
| The targeted users are those responsible for creating and managing policies that control network operations, including policy based network configuration and auto-corrective actions.  This typically includes network and service designers, operations engineers and security experts. 
|
| The GUI consists of the **Editor, Dictionary, PDP, Push, Roles, Admin** and **Dashboard** Tabs; which provide for an intuitive manner for policy rules to be created, changed, and managed.
