Managing Policy

Creating Policies

Policies help you manage client settings for different groups. You can create policies with client settings, and schedule settings to apply to different groups.

Creating a new policy

To create a new policy, follow these steps:

1. Log on to the Seqrite Endpoint Security Web console.
2. Go to Clients > Manage Policies.
3. To create a new policy, click Add.
   The new policy settings screen appears.
4. In the Policy Name text box, type the policy name.
   After naming the new policy, you need to configure the client settings and schedule settings.
5. In the Description text box, enter brief details about the policy.
6. To save your settings, click Save Policy.

While creating a new policy, you can allow the clients to configure their own settings by selecting the Let clients configure their own settings option.

If you enable this option, the Advanced Device Control and Data Loss Prevention features are disabled.

Copying a policy

   The selected policy appears with its settings.

Renaming a policy

Deleting a policy

To delete a policy, follow these steps:

1. Log on to the Seqrite Endpoint Security Web console.
2. Go to Clients > Manage Policies.
3. Select the policy that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
   A confirmation message appears.
4. If you are sure to delete the selected policy, click YES.
   If the selected policy is applied to a group/secondary server, it cannot be deleted and a message about Failed to delete policies appears.
   If the selected policy is an inherited policy, it cannot be deleted and a message about Failed to delete policies appears.

If a policy is applied to a group and you want to delete it, apply a different policy to that group so the target policy is not applied to any group and then delete such a policy successfully.
