In this exercise we will:

### Enable the Default Access Control Policy and notice the change in your access to the "Known Customers" Audience/Segment

1. Navigate to the Audiences sub-section through the Menu section within Adobe Experience Platform
2. Note that you still have access to the **Banking Customers with Low Credit Score** audience/segment

***Note**: Applying a label to a segment by itself does not change access. For that, a policy needs to exist that uses the label to define access privileges*

1. Navigate to the **Permissions** sub-section
2. Click on **Policies**.
3. Click on **Default-Label-Based-Access-Control-Policy.** Note that the policy is currently ***Inactive***

4\. Review the **description** within the Details tab to understand the core functionality

5\. Review the **Sandboxes** tab
