# Create Pool Constraint Policies

If you want to implement policies for an entire pool, instead of a single resource, you can do so from the **Constraints** option within the pool's details page.

Only individuals with a **Manager** role can enforce shared constraints across the pool. While shared constraints apply pool-wide, custom resource-specific constraints can still be configured and will override the general policy.

## Creating a pool constraint policy

To configure pool constraint policies:

1. Navigate to the **Pools** page.&#x20;
2. Select the desired pool group or subpool.
3. Go to the **Constrains** tab and select the edit icon.
4. Enter values in the **TTL** (Time-to-live) or **Daily expense limit** fields.&#x20;
5. Select <img src="/files/rCLMDoTPyjmNC43pHWEt" alt="pencil" data-size="line"> to save your changes. The constraint will apply to the resources within the selected pool or subpool.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
A constraint will not be visible if the related resource has already been deleted from FinOps or if a resource has been tracked only by imported billing data.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.finops.softwareone.com/insights/pools/pool-constraint-policies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
