It also explains how to\ninterpret the results of the simulation, and how to apply the simulated deny\npolicy if you choose to.\n\nThis feature only evaluates access based on deny policies.\n\nTo learn how to simulate other types of policies, see the following:\n\n- [Test organization policy changes with\n Policy Simulator](/policy-intelligence/docs/test-organization-policies)\n- [Test principal access boundary policy changes with\n Policy Simulator](/policy-intelligence/docs/simulate-pab-policies)\n- [Test role changes with Policy Simulator](/policy-intelligence/docs/simulate-iam-policies)\n\nBefore you begin\n----------------\n\n-\n\n\n Enable the Policy Simulator and Identity and Access Management APIs.\n\n\n [Enable the APIs](https://console.cloud.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=policysimulator.googleapis.com,iam.googleapis.com)\n- Optional: Learn [how\n Policy Simulator for deny policies works](/policy-intelligence/docs/deny-simulator-overview).\n\n### Required roles\n\n\nTo get the permissions that\nyou need to test changes to deny policies,\n\nask your administrator to grant you the\n\n\n[Deny Admin](/iam/docs/roles-permissions/iam#iam.denyAdmin) (`roles/iam.denyAdmin`)\nIAM role on the organization.\n\n\nFor more information about granting roles, see [Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations](/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access).\n\n\nYou might also be able to get\nthe required permissions through [custom\nroles](/iam/docs/creating-custom-roles) or other [predefined\nroles](/iam/docs/roles-overview#predefined).\n\nSimulate a change to a deny policy\n----------------------------------\n\nSimulating a deny policy involves the following steps:\n\n1. [Starting the simulation](#start-simulation)\n2. [Waiting for the simulation to finish](#wait)\n3. [Viewing the simulation report](#view-report)\n4. [Taking action based on the simulation](#take-action)\n\n### Start a simulation\n\nYou can start a simulation in the following ways:\n\n- Simulate a new deny policy:\n\n 1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Deny** tab on the **IAM** page.\n\n [Go\n to IAM](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector/iam-admin/iam/deny?supportedpurview=project,folder,organizationId)\n 1. Select a project, folder, or organization.\n 2. Follow the steps to [create a deny policy](/iam/docs/deny-access#create-deny-policy), but don't click **Create** after entering the deny policy details. Instead, click **Test policy**.\n- Simulate an edit to a deny policy:\n\n 1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Deny** tab on the **IAM** page.\n\n [Go to IAM](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector/iam-admin/iam/deny?supportedpurview=project,folder,organizationId)\n 2. Select a project, folder, or organization.\n\n 3. In the **Policy ID** column, click the ID of the policy that you want to\n edit.\n\n 4. Click edit **Edit**.\n\n 5. Update the deny policy:\n\n - To change the policy display name, edit the **Display name** field.\n - To edit an existing deny rule, click the deny rule, and then modify the rule's principals, exception principals, denied permissions, exception permissions, or denial condition.\n - To remove a deny rule, find the deny rule that you want to delete, and then click delete **Delete** in that row.\n - To add a deny rule, click **Add deny rule** , and then create a deny rule like you do when you [create a deny policy](/iam/docs/deny-access#create-deny-policy).\n 6. When you're done updating the deny policy, click **Test changes**.\n\nWhen you click **Test policy** or **Test changes** , Policy Simulator\nstarts the simulation and redirects you to the **Deny simulation reports** page.\nYou can navigate away from this page without losing progress.\n\n### Wait for a simulation to complete\n\nAfter you start a simulation, the Google Cloud console generates a notification\nthat the simulation is running.\n\nAfter the simulation finishes, the Google Cloud console generates another\nnotification that the simulation is complete. When you receive this notification,\nyou can [view the simulation report](#view-report).\n\nEach user can have up to 10 in-progress simulations.\n\n### View a simulation report\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Deny simulation reports** page.\n\n [Go to Deny simulation reports](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam/deny/simulation-reports/)\n2. Find the simulation whose report you want to view, then click **View report** in\n that row.\n\nThe simulation report contains the following:\n\n- An overview of the simulation details, including the simulated policy, the simulated action, and the simulation time.\n- A **View policy** or **View policy changes** button, which, when clicked, displays the simulated policy in JSON format. If you're simulating the policy change, then it might also display the difference between the current policy and the simulated policy.\n- A **Replay results** section, which displays the results of the simulation. To learn how to interpret these results, see [Policy Simulator\n results](/policy-intelligence/docs/deny-simulator-overview#review-results).\n\nTake action based on a simulation\n---------------------------------\n\nAfter reviewing a simulation report, you can take the following actions:\n\n- **Export the simulation results** : To export the results of a simulation as a\n CSV file, click **Export results**.\n\n When you click this button, a CSV file with the simulation reports is\n downloaded to your computer.\n- **Apply the simulated policy change** : To apply the simulated policy or policy\n change, click **Set policy**.\n\n When you click this button, the Google Cloud console sets the simulated\n policy.\n- **Edit the simulated change to the policy** : To make further changes to the\n simulated policy or policy change, click **Modify policy**.\n\n When you click this button, the Google Cloud console redirects you to the\n deny policy editor.\n\nAlternatively, you can click **Cancel** to leave the simulation report without\ntaking any action.\n\nView simulation history\n-----------------------\n\nThe **Deny simulation reports** page contains a table listing all of the simulations\nthat you've run over the past 14 days. This list is unique to each user and\ncan't be shared.\n\nTo view the **Deny simulation reports** page, do the following:\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Deny** tab on the **IAM** page.\n\n [Go to IAM](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector/iam-admin/iam/deny?supportedpurview=project,folder,organizationId)\n2. Select the project, folder, or organization that you want to view simulations\n for.\n\n3. Click schedule **Simulation history**.\n\nFor each simulation, the page lists the policy that the simulation is for, the\ndate that you started the simulation, and the status of the simulation.\n\nSimulations can have the following statuses:\n\n- **In progress**: The simulation is running, but hasn't completed yet. You can have up to 10 in-progress simulations.\n- **Completed**: The simulation is complete.\n- **Error**: The simulation couldn't be completed due to an error.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- [Test organization policy changes with\n Policy Simulator](/policy-intelligence/docs/test-organization-policies)\n- [Test role changes with Policy Simulator](/policy-intelligence/docs/simulate-iam-policies)"]]
