# Impact of Custom Permissions on Policies

Custom permissions in Data 360 play a key role in determining how a policy is applied. You can assign them to users through custom permission sets or profiles to act as user attributes within the policy builder.

When defining an access policy, you select one or more custom permissions in the User tab. These permissions indicate which users the policy should apply to or explicitly exclude.

- You can specify multiple custom permissions in the same policy.
- For the policy to be effective, a user must have at least one of the listed custom permissions.
- Attribute-based access control policies are applied to users based on the custom permissions assigned to them.
- You can add custom permissions only to custom permission sets. Standard permission sets and their clones don’t support custom permissions.
