# Configuring context conditions

Context conditions can be used to further specify the policy on an element in Valtimo. When a condition is used in the policy it will match the conditions against the element it is trying to access. Context conditions are restrictions on top of those, to define policies that only work within the context of another resource.

{% hint style="info" %}
This page requires:

* Knowledge of [JSON](https://www.json.org/)
  {% endhint %}

## Use case

**Use case:** An implementation has 5 case types. Financial advisors should only be able to start processes for cases of 1 case type.

**Solution:**

* Give the financial advisors `ROLE_FINANCIAL`.
* Configure with conditions in PBAC that only `ROLE_FINANCIAL` can start processes, within the context of cases with a specific case definition name.

## Example

<details>

<summary>Permission with context condition</summary>

In the example below, a junior financial advisor is only allowed to start an intake processes for clients who have less than 5000 euros to their name.

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.valtimo.nl/v12/features/access-control/configuring-context-conditions.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.
