# How to add a permission policy?

> A Permission Policy forms the cornerstone of defining user rights, working collaboratively with Team Profiles and Teams to establish access parameters.

A Permission Policy forms the cornerstone of defining user rights, working collaboratively with [Team Profiles and Teams](https://docs.rdrive.io/setup/project/permission-policies-and-team-profiles/what-is-team-profile-and-how-to-setup) to establish access parameters.

Each permission policy can have single or multiple permission rules. If there are common permission rules, you can create a basic permission policy and re-use it by adding it as [usage](https://docs.rdrive.io/setup/project/permission-policies-and-team-profiles/what-is-edit-usage-in-permission-policies) to another permission policy.
