User`s guide

Group1 in the root contains Group2 to which the policy is applied directly. Group2, in turn, contains
child Group3 that inherits the policy from the parent and applies the policy to Machine1 respectively.
The machine (or group) to which the policy was applied directly is boldfaced and marked with an
icon.
All items are interactive, i.e. when you click on a machine or a group, its parent group view will be
opened.
