The Post Authentication policy context defines how and when a policy is enforced during
the login process. The policy used in this context executes after your users see a login
screen.

## Post-authentication context record {#post-auth-context__section_qw3_lxr_2qb}

Policies in the post-authorization context execute after your users enter their credentials or
SSO response. Your instance allows or denies access based on your selected policy. Because your
users have identified themselves via their login credentials, the policy can use user
information such as role or group to determine whether to grant access.

Use the fields in the Post-authentication policy context record to define how your instance
uses your policy.

Allow Policy :   Denies access to all users by default, and only allows access when the conditions the policy selected in the Allow Policy field evaluate to true. Deny Policy :   Allows access to all users by default, and only denies access when the conditions the policy selected in the Deny Policy field evaluate to true. |

## Policy inputs and conditions {#post-auth-context__section_uw4_vhr_2qb}

The Policy Input and Policy Conditions tabs
display the inputs and conditions of the policy selected in the Allow Policy or Deny Policy field. These tabs serve as a
reference, but cannot be used to change the policy inputs or conditions. To modify your policy
settings, navigate to the policy using the reference icon (![Reference icon]()) next to the Allow Policy or Deny Policy
field.  
This example shows a post-authentication policy context record configured to deny access by default. The context uses a policy called Deny access policy. That policy has a set of inputs and conditions that are displayed in the Policy Input and Policy Condition tabs.Abbildung : 1. Post-authentication policy context form
