# Using identity authorization in Amazon SES
<a name="identity-authorization-policies"></a>

Identity authorization policies define how individual verified identities can use Amazon SES by specifying which SES API actions are allowed or denied for the identity and under what conditions.

Through the use of these authorization polices, you can maintain control over your identities by changing or revoking permissions at any time. You can even authorize other users to use the identities that you own (domains or email addresses) with their own SES accounts.
