# Applying Policies in Local Mode

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

For Omni Gateway running in Local Mode, you apply API policies using
[local declarative configuration files](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/local-configuration-reference-guide). You specify the
location of these configuration files when you first run Omni Gateway.

See [Registering and Running Omni Gateway in Local Mode](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/local-reg-run) for more information about
how to start the gateway.

Refer to the following tutorials for examples on applying policies to APIs in Local Mode:

- [Secure an API with Basic Authentication and Rate Limiting](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/local-secure-api-with-basic-auth-policy)

- [Secure an API with an Automated Resource-Level Policy](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/local-secure-api-with-auto-policy)

- [Secure an API with a Custom Policy](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/local-deploy-custom-policy)
