I tested your policy in the Axiomatics Policy Server and I also get NotApplicable. What effect were you expecting? The policy behaves correctly. The Policy target and the Rule target are both matched.

The condition is also matched but given you use a not() function, it becomes false and therefore the rule does not apply which leads to NotApplicable.

Policy simulation inside the Axiomatics Policy Administration Point

If you want Deny back, then you need to have a catch all Deny rule after the Permit rule.

New policy structure

And here is the code.
