Policies containing optimization and transformation configuration settings are typically organized into policy sets. A image policy set contains only image policies, and a video policy set contains only video policies.

A default policy is automatically generated whenever a new policy set is created. You can create as many policy sets and policies as you need on a single contract.

Policy sets are created in one of two ways:

• By setting Apply Existing Policy Set to No in the Image and Video Manager behavior that you add to your Image and Video Manager rule. This automatically creates a new policy set containing a default policy when the rule is saved.

• By logging into ​Akamai Control Center​, navigating to ☰ > CDN > Image and Video Manager, and using the Policy Manager tools.

Create a policy set

1. In ​Akamai Control Center​, go to ☰ > CDN > Image and Video Manager.

   Image and Video Manager opens to the Policy Manager page.

2. Select the correct Contract from the list.

3. Click +Create and select Policy set from the list that appears.

4. To create your new policy set:

   • Enter a name for the policy set
   • Select Image or Video as the media type
   • Select the appropriate region
   • Select the group that should have access to this policy set, or leave as "All groups on the contract"
   • Click Create

You are now ready to create policies in this policy set.
