# Manage Policies

> Control which sources and libraries your teamspace can access

Policies let you control exactly which documentation your teamspace can pull from Context7. Configure them from the [policies tab](https://context7.com/dashboard?tab=policies) of your dashboard, or programmatically through the [Policies API](https://context7.com/docs/api-reference/policies/get-teamspace-policies.md).

Every search and MCP request made with one of the teamspace's API keys is filtered through these policies, so they apply to all members at once.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Policies are scoped to a teamspace. Only owners and admins can change them; developers have read-only access.

## Source Type Access

The **Source Type Access** card toggles entire categories of sources on or off. Disabling a type removes all of its content from results for the whole teamspace.

| Group | Source Type | What it covers |
| - | - | - |
| Public Sources | Public Repositories | Public GitHub repositories |
| Public Sources | Websites | Indexed documentation websites |
| Public Sources | LLMs.txt | `llms.txt` sources |
| Connected Sources | Confluence | Atlassian Confluence workspace pages |
| Connected Sources | Uploaded Files | Uploaded OpenAPI specs and PDFs |
| Connected Sources | Notion | Connected Notion pages |
| Connected Sources | Private Sources | Privately parsed repositories |

## Library Filters

The **Library Filters** card decides which public libraries are accessible. Choose one of two modes:

### Filter by Quality

Allow any public library that clears the quality bar you set. Available filters:

| Filter | Options |
| - | - |
| Verification | All · Verified Only |
| Trust score | All · Medium (4+) · High (7+) |
| Freshness | All · 30 days · 90 days · 1 year |
| Repo stars | All · 100+ · 1,000+ · 10,000+ |
| Website backlinks | All · 500+ · 2,500+ · 5,000+ |
| Referring domains | All · 100+ · 500+ · 1,000+ |
| Organic traffic | All · 100+ · 1,000+ · 10,000+ |

> [!NOTE]
>
> Choosing a trust score above **All** excludes libraries that do not have a trust score yet. Add a library to your excepted list if you need it anyway.

You can also maintain two override lists in quality mode:

* **Blocked libraries** — always excluded, even if they pass every filter.
* **Excepted libraries** — always allowed, even if they fail the filters.

### Select Manually

Ignore the quality bar entirely and grant access only to a hand-picked list of libraries. Anything not on the list is inaccessible.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The card shows the number of libraries currently accessible under your settings, so you can see the impact before saving.

## Managing Policies via API

The same configuration is available over the REST API using a teamspace API key:

* [Get Policies](https://context7.com/docs/api-reference/policies/get-teamspace-policies.md) — `GET /api/v2/policies` returns the current configuration and accessible library count.
* [Update Policies](https://context7.com/docs/api-reference/policies/update-teamspace-policies.md) — `PATCH /api/v2/policies` applies an incremental update; only the fields you include are changed. Add `dryRun: true` to get the policies and library count the update would produce, without saving.

See the [API Guide](https://context7.com/docs/api-guide.md) for request and response details.
