# Access

Use the Access dropdown to set up the elements used in the Appgate SDP system for controlling access rights. This will define what is allowed and when. For more background on the access control model used in Appgate SDP please refer to the topics [Users/device access](/v1/docs/userdevice-access) and [Applying access controls](/v1/docs/applying-access-controls). The latter will help explain the difference between Conditions and Policy assignment.

There is a section for each of the dropdown menu items.

Appgate SDP (Software Defined Perimeter) is a security solution that provides secure access to resources based on user identity and context, leveraging a zero trust security model.

A Policy is a set of rules that govern access control and permissions for users and devices within the Appgate ZTNA system. Policies determine what resources users can access based on their entitlements.
