Depending on how scalable you need the policy to be. You can attach 
predicates (just read that as conditions, but I'm going to keep 
accidentally typing predicates, so best get used to it) to just about 
every object, including the decoders that do the mapping back to a user, 
so you can limit when they run. The example in the file is commented out 
but shows a rule based on the SP.

Queries aren't the only case where these kinds of mappings have to be done.
