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.

Thanks for the response I added '/' in route.js with a controller to handle its working. But I was thinking if there is a way to handle policy for the views directly. – Mahesh B Nov 15 '16 at 07:44
@MaheshB No, there is no way you can handle policy for views directly. Atleast as of the current version. :) – Ranjan Nov 15 '16 at 12:26
