Access Tags in Bridge Access Management enable organizations to define and manage resource-level access control through a simple and scalable key-value tagging system. This feature empowers administrators to organize, restrict and assign access policies based on defined access tags, ensuring secure and efficient resource management. Non-Administrative users can only view access tags created for the account. They can neither create nor delete access tags. 

This update introduces the ability to create and delete account-wide access tags using a key-value format. These tags can then be used when authoring access policies for users or access groups, especially when choosing attribute-based access control (ABAC). 

With access tags, you can manage resource segmentation, enforce fine-grained access control and streamline policy definitions using standardized labels. For instance, tags like **Environment\:Dev** or **Project\:Finance** can help enforce which users can access which environments or project resources. 

# Prerequisites 

To create or delete access tags: 

- You must have the **Administrator** role in the Kyndryl Bridge account. 

# Accessing the Access Tags page

From the Kyndryl Bridge main menu :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/QU1TIK52ntw5Jsos0uOt5/NK7Yw9tQgnlqBGwu7eG4H-20260601-205917.svg" alt caption width="57" height="57"}, go to **Administration**→ Bridge Access Management → **Access Tags**

# Creating access tags 

To create an access tag, complete the following steps:

4. Click **Add tag +** to add multiple tag entries (up to 10 total). 
5. Click **Add Access Tag** to save.

  - "The newly added key\:value pairs must be unique." 
  - "Key already in use. Please enter a unique value." 
  - "Value already in use. Please enter a unique value."
