chainctl policies enable

Enable a policy for an organization.

Synopsis

Enable a policy by creating a binding for an organization. If the policy is already enabled, its mode (or parameter values) is updated.

This is a shortcut for “policies binding create”.

The default mode is DRY_RUN. Pass –param=KEY=VALUE (repeatable) to supply values for policies that declare a parameter schema; omitted parameters fall back to the schema’s declared default.

chainctl policies enable --policy POLICY [--parent ORG] [--mode MODE] [--param KEY=VALUE] [--output=json|table] [flags]

Examples


# Enable a policy in DRY_RUN mode
chainctl policies enable --policy=no-eol --parent=example.com --mode=DRY_RUN

# Enable a policy in enforce mode
chainctl policies enable --policy=no-eol --parent=example.com --mode=ENFORCE

# Enable a policy with a parameter value
chainctl policies enable --policy=cooldown --parent=example.com --mode=ENFORCE --param=days=14
