How to register an account on GitLab. Due to spam, new accounts are locked until approved by an admin or the approver bot. Your GitLab account gets automatically approved within one hour if you are a member of Trusted Contributors in Gerrit, or a member of the Trusted-Contributors group in Phabricator and linked your Developer account to your Phabricator account. If none of these apply, you can file an unlock request to expedite access.

Policies can be defined by forms which may hide the Edit/View Policy fields.
Thus the current error message "You can not select this edit policy" is misleading as the user may not have been able to actively select a policy.
Overwrite the message by a more correct one (which is likely still confusing but hard to make it more specific as this message is shown in many places).
