Answer 1

I think you are not serving your homepage through a controller/action. Policies can only be applied to content which get served via controller/action.

From the documentation of Sails Policies :

Policies in Sails are versatile tools for authorization and access control-- they let you allow or deny access to your controllers down to a fine level of granularity.

It should start working once you serve the homepage via a controller.

Answer 2

if you want apply the policy to homepage

you must do it into the file route.js

 '/': {
    view: 'homepage',policy: 'isLoggedIn'
  }
