Policy Overview

This section explains how to use various windows to change a policy, but does not explain the process to modify every policy. PolicyServer MMC has a common set of windows to use when modifying a policy. One policy may have an editor window available to edit the numbers, ranges and values associated with the policy while another policy may have a window to modify text strings.

When managing policies, note the following:

• Policies are configurable by the agent within each group.

• Policy inheritance only occurs when a subgroup exists. For information about group permissions, see Groups.

• Every policy has a default value.

• Policy Visual Indicators

• Selecting a Policy for Modification

• Editing Policies with Ranges

• Editing Policies with True/False or Yes/ No Responses
