# Open access for Veriam account holders

{% hint style="info" %}
In this setup, **application access is open to any user who has a Veriam account**. The provider does not apply any additional conditions such as roles, policies, pricing tiers, or legal agreements. Access is **free and immediate** upon login with a valid Veriam account.
{% endhint %}

### **Access model**

* **Account-based access only**:\
  The **only requirement** to access the application is that the user must have a **registered Veriam account**. Once logged in, access is granted automatically.
* **No provider-side configuration needed**:\
  The provider does **not** need to define or assign policies, roles, or any user-specific rules. All users are treated equally, and there is **no manual intervention** or eligibility filtering by the provider.
* **No pricing or legal pre-conditions**:\
  There are **no contracts**, **no subscriptions**, and **no role-based constraints** tied to this access method. It is suitable for public, free-to-use, or self-serve applications that prioritize ease of entry.
* **Ideal for broad reach**:\
  This model is optimized for **onboarding a wide range of users** with minimal friction - perfect for freemium tools, public dashboards, community offerings, or initial user trials.

<summary>How to set this up</summary>

1. [Create a Policy](/for-providers/ciam/set-up-access-controls.md#how-to-configure-a-policy-that-allows-access-to-everything) that allows access (without any conditions).
2. Assign this policy to your application, from the Application detail screen (Policies tab).
3. Any user with a Veriam account can now login to this application.

Policies that are assigned to an application can be found on the Application detail view, Policies tab. Policies can also be removed from this overview.
