# Managing CIBA request policies

You can configure, modify, review, remove, and elect existing client initiated backchannel authentication (CIBA) request policies in the administrative console.

## About this task

CIBA request policies process identity hints and authenticate users to receive consent. Each request policy is associated with an instance of a CIBA authenticator. The CIBA grant flow is initiated by a direct request from the client and involves an out-of-band interaction with the user to complete authentication and authorization. OAuth clients that support the CIBA grant type can be configured to use a specific CIBA request policy or a default.

## Steps

1. Go to **Applications > OAuth > CIBA Request Policies**. To configure a new CIBA request policy, click **Add Policy**.

2. Select an action from the following options:

   ### Choose from:

   * To modify an existing CIBA request policy, select it by its name under **Policy ID**.

   * To review the usage of an existing CIBA request policy, click **Check Usage** under **Action**.

   * To remove an existing CIBA request policy or to cancel the removal request, click **Delete** or **Undelete** under **Action**.

   * To elect an existing CIBA request policy to be the default CIBA request policy, click **Set as Default** under **Action**.
