- In the Owners dropdown menu, select users and user groups that will have permission to edit this cloud rule.
- (Optional) Select pre- and post-rule webhooks to apply.
- If you are using AWS:

- Select AWS IAM Policies to apply to cloud access roles when this cloud rule is applied.
- Select AWS AWS CloudFormation Templates to apply to cloud accounts when this cloud rule is applied. If you are deploying multiple templates, you can select to deploy them in a particular order or to deploy them concurrently. If there are dependencies between your templates, use the sequential option.
