SOAP API access policies allow you to restrict access to inbound SOAP APIs based on the
authentication type and the specified filter criteria of the access policy.

The SOAP API access policies enables you to have the ability to apply the inbound
authentication profile and API access policies to inbound SOAP and scripted SOAP APIs.

You can leverage ServiceNow API access policies like IP range and role
based restrictions to allow or disallow inbound SOAP API calls based on the authentication.

As an admin, you can perform the following actions to apply the policies.

* Activate SOAP API Access Policy and Authentication Profile plugins. For more information, see [Activate SOAP API access policy](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/b~eXB9OmjDORavtEOcssZQ "For SOAP API access policy, install the SOAP API Access Policy (com.glide.soap.policy) plugin.").
* Create SOAP API Access Policies and associate those policies with an authentication profile. For more information, see [Create SOAP API access policy](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/p2D8eSIYjUz6V0TJX8hwng "Create an API access policy and map an authentication profile to restrict the authentication type for a SOAP API. For example, you can create an API access policy that allows only ID token authentication for a SOAP API.") and [Create an authentication profile](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uXcZzZWx0Ma3BvFnOYrwZQ "Create an authentication profile and add one or more authentication policies to the profile. You can also configure the ID Token and OAuth Token authentication profiles that are available by default.").  
  Hinweis:  
  The policies are applicable to SOAP table API or scripted SOAP API. Besides the standard `http` and `WSSE` authentication profile.
* Create authentication policies such as IP range, role-based restrictions and associate this policy to the authentication profile. For more information, see [Create an API authentication policy](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MVndJl4cteZQ636ET5wY7g "Authentication policies allow you to enforce access restrictions on the APIs based on the specified filter criteria.").
