 ![Topic link icon](../../database-engine/configure-windows/media/topic-link.gif "Topic link icon") [Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions](../../t-sql/language-elements/transact-sql-syntax-conventions-transact-sql.md)  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
sp_syspolicy_set_config_enabled [ @value = ] value  
```  
  
## Arguments  
`[ @value = ] value`
 Determines whether Policy-Based Management is enabled. *value* is **sqlvariant**, and can be one of the following values:  
  
-   0 (or 'false') = Disabled  
  
-   1 (or 'true') = Enabled  
  
## Return Code Values  
 **0** (success) or **1** (failure)  
  
## Remarks  
 You must run sp_syspolicy_set_config_enabled in the context of the msdb system database.  
  
## Permissions  
 Requires membership in the PolicyAdministratorRole fixed database role.  
  
> [!IMPORTANT]  
>  Possible elevation of credentials: Users in the PolicyAdministratorRole role can create server triggers and schedule policy executions that can affect the operation of the instance of the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)]. For example, users in the PolicyAdministratorRole role can create a policy that can prevent most objects from being created in the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)]. Because of this possible elevation of credentials, the PolicyAdministratorRole role should be granted only to users who are trusted with controlling the configuration of the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)].  
  
## Examples  
 The following example enables Policy-Based Management.  
  
```  
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_syspolicy_set_config_enabled @value = 1;  
  
GO   
```
