The [image privacy policy](/container-registry/concepts/#image-privacy-policies) specifies whether everyone is granted access to pull the image or not.

<Requirements />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- A [Container Registry namespace](/container-registry/how-to/create-namespace/)
- An image [pushed](/container-registry/how-to/push-images/) to your namespace


1. Click **Container Registry** under the **Storage** or **Containers** sections of the [Scaleway console](https://console.scaleway.com) side menu. The Container Registry namespaces dashboard displays.
2. Click the namespace's name to list its images.
3. Click <Icon name="more" /> next to the container image name, then click **Privacy policy** in the pop-up menu.
4. Select the new image privacy policy to apply. The policy can either be **Public**, **Private** or **Inheritance from namespace policy**.
5. Click **Update privacy policy** to set the policy.
