What are the two main types of policies in IDN?

The two main types of policies in SailPoint Identity Now (IDN) are the general policy and the segregation of duties (SOD) policy. General policies serve as overarching guidelines that govern how identities are managed and accessed within the system, addressing broad aspects such as user access controls and roles.

The segregation of duties policy, on the other hand, focuses specifically on preventing conflicts of interest by ensuring that critical tasks are divided among different individuals, which helps to mitigate risks related to fraud and errors. These policies ensure a structured approach to managing identities and access, reflecting best practices in governance and compliance.

Understanding these two types of policies is essential for effectively implementing and managing identity governance solutions. The other combinations do not represent the primary distinctions typically discussed in IDN policy frameworks.
