1. A computer system comprising: processor circuit; and memory device coupled to the processor circuit and comprising computer readable program code that when executed by the processor circuit causes the processor circuit to perform operations comprising: accessing a policy repository that contains policies to manage access to resources of the computer system; generating codified policies from the policies, wherein the generating comprises: categorizing semantic terms in the policies, and substituting representations of the categories for the semantic terms to generate the codified policies; and condensing a structure of a selected one of the codified policies by de-duplicating identical entries within the structure; communicating the condensed structure for the selected codified policy to a managed machine to manage access to resources of the computer system used by the managed machine.
