Yes, assuming that's actually the basis of the policy you want to use. For
lots of reasons that isn't advisable unless you really understand what
that means, and Ian updated the example in the wiki that illustrates using
groups to reflect some of that.

The normal way of dealing with contractual arrangements is just to
explicitly define a policy for the SP. That's the least of the overhead
involved with B2B scenarios.
