Answer 1

Actually if you search through the internal, you could find many XACML 3.0 sample policies. XACML 3.0 core specification also contains sample policies. However, you can find lot of XACML 3.0 sample from this blog. Also there are free tools and servers that help you to create XACML 3.0 policies. Such as WSO2 Identity Server, ALFA Plugin by Axiomatics and so on.

Let me publish a simple policy that has been created from WSO2 Identity Server UI. This policy has been written for "foo1" or "foo2" resources. And it says, users "bob1" or "bob2" can perform "read" or "write" actions on this "foo1" or "foo2" resources. Other all access to "foo1" or "foo2" resources have been denied.
