:::info
This documentation is written for [the new backend system](../backend-system/index.md) which is the default since Backstage [version 1.24](../releases/v1.24.0.md). If you are still on the old backend system, you may want to read [its own article](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/v1.37.0/docs/permissions/getting-started--old.md) instead, and [consider migrating](../backend-system/building-backends/08-migrating.md)!
:::
Backstage integrators control permissions by writing a policy. In general terms, a policy is simply an async function which receives a request to authorize a specific action for a user and (optional) resource, and returns a decision on whether to authorize that permission. Integrators can implement their own policies from scratch, or adopt reusable policies written by others.
