 Filtering is performed at the Agent level but centrally managed through the Datadog UI, giving teams full visibility and control. You can create, update, and manage filtering policies in Datadog, streamlining metric governance while maintaining transparency.
 
+Creating and updating filtering policies requires the [`metric_tags_write`][1] RBAC permission. All users can view filtering policies.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Upgrade to Datadog Agent v7.67.0 or higher (v7.70.0 or higher is recommended).
+- With [`org_management`][2] permissions, enable [Remote Configuration][3] for your organization.
+- With [`api_keys_write`][4] permissions, enable the [Remote Configuration capability on the API keys][5] used by your Agents. After enabling Remote Configuration on an API key, restart your Agents for the change to take effect.
