# Policies

Group automation rules into policies to simplify the management of these rules by providing a single point of control. This makes it easier to enable, disable, or modify multiple rules at once. Additionally, Enterprise users are able to use those policies to evaluate packages in Open Source Select with [Start Left Policies](/product/open-source-select/start-left-policies.md).
