Define Deployment Policies Set Up the GlobalProtect Mobile Security Manager
Create Deployment Policies
Step 1 Create a new policy rule. 1. Select Policies > Policies and click Add.
2. Enter a descriptive
Name to identify the policy rule.
Step 2 Specify which mobile device users to
deploy this configuration to. There are
two ways to specify which managed
devices will get the configuration: by
user/group name and/or by HIP match.
The Mobile Security Manager uses the
Users/HIP Profiles settings you specify
to determine which configuration to
deploy to a device upon check-in.
Therefore, if you have multiple
configurations, you must make sure to
order them properly. As soon as the
Mobile Security Manager finds a match, it
will deliver the configuration. Therefore,
more specific configurations must
precede more general ones. See Step 4 for
instructions on ordering the list of rules.
Before you can create policy rules to
deploy configurations to specific
users or groups, you configure the
Mobile Security Manager to access
your user directory as described in
Integrate the Mobile Security
Manager with your LDAP
Directory.
Select the
Users/HIP Profiles tab and then specify how to determine
a configuration match for this policy rule:
• To deploy this configuration to a specific user or group, click
Add
in the User section of the window and then select the user or
group you want to receive this configuration from the drop-down.
Repeat this step for each user/group you want to add.
• To deploy this configuration to devices that match a specific HIP
profile, click
Add in the HIP Profiles section of the window and
then select a HIP profile.
It is a good idea to test you deployment policies before
pushing them out to your entire mobile user base. Consider
initially creating a configuration that applies to users in your
IT group only to allow them enroll with Mobile Security
Manager and test the deployment policies. Then, after you
have thoroughly tested the configuration, you could modify
the deployment policy to push the deployments out to
mobile users.
Step 3 Specify which configuration profiles to
deploy to devices that match the
user/HIP profile criteria you defined.
1. Attach configuration profiles to the policy rule. If your rule is
designed to match both iOS and Android devices, you must
attach separate configuration profiles as follows:
• To add an iOS configuration profile or an iOS provisioning
profile, click
Add in the iOS section and then select the
profile to add. Repeat this step for each iOS profile to deploy
to devices matching this rule.
• To add an Android configuration profile, click
Add in the
Android section and then select the profile to add to the rule.
Repeat this step for each configuration profile to deploy to
devices matching this rule.
2. Click
OK to save the policy rule.
3. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for each policy rule you need.
