be visible to those users having the <code>Manage Policies</code> privilege.</p><p>Out of the box, DataHub is deployed with a set of pre-baked Policies. The set of default policies are created at deploy

|
|
time and can be found inside the <code>policies.json</code> file within <code>metadata-service/war/src/main/resources/boot</code>. This set of policies serves the
|
|||
|
|
following purposes:</p><ol><li>Assigns immutable super-user privileges for the root <code>datahub</code> user account (Immutable)</li><li>Assigns all Platform privileges for all Users by default (Editable)</li></ol><p>The reason for #1 is to prevent people from accidentally deleting all policies and getting locked out (<code>datahub</code> super user account can be a backup)

|
|
The reason for #2 is to permit administrators to log in via OIDC or another means outside of the <code>datahub</code> root account

|
when they are bootstrapping with DataHub. This way, those setting up DataHub can start managing policies without friction.

it applies to the subResource targeted in the action. For example, if the policy specifies it is constrained to tags that equal <code>urn:li:tag:tag1</code> or <code>urn:li:tag:tag2</code> for <code>EDIT_DATASET_TAGS</code> privilege, then assuming no other policies match,
|

|

a user would only be able to apply those tags to the dataset. This is also supported with the <code>NOT_EQUALS</code> condition for preventing certain tags from being added/removed. These policies apply by default in the UI and can be configured to apply
