# Identity-based policy examples for AWS Wickr
<a name="security_iam_id-based-policy-examples"></a>

By default, a brand new IAM user has no permissions to do anything. An IAM administrator must create and assign IAM policies that give users permission to administer the AWS Wickr service. The following shows an example of a permissions policy.

```

    "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "wickr:CreateAdminSession",
                "wickr:ListNetworks"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

This sample policy gives users permissions to create, view, and manage Wickr networks using the AWS Management Console for Wickr. To learn more about the elements within an IAM policy statement, see [Identity-based policies for Wickr](security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies.md). To learn how to create an IAM policy using these example JSON policy documents, see [Creating policies on the JSON tab](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html#access_policies_create-json-editor) in the *IAM User Guide*.
