1
The order of policy assignment is User (highest) > Security Group > OU > Role > Global Policy (lowest). Individual
parameters assigned at the User level override parameters set at the Group level, and so forth. Note that Parameter P2 is set
at ON at the Global level, but is overridden by the OFF setting at the higher Role level, leaving an effective setting of OFF.
2
No Overrides Allowed can be set at any level to prevent override by parameters set at higher levels. Note that the No
Overrides Allowed setting ON for Parameter P4 at the lowest Global level overrides the OFF setting at the higher Role level.
3
At the Security Group level, HP SAM checks all Security Groups in alphanumeric order and uses the policy, if any, in the first
Security Group encountered. Note that Security Group 1 is the first Security Group encountered, so the OFF setting for Security
Group 1 leaves Parameter P6 with an effective setting of OFF, and the ON setting for Security Group 2 is ignored.
Create or Update a Policy
To create a new policy, click the Create button and type a new policy name. To update or edit an existing
policy, click the policy name hyperlink. When the Update Policy window displays, set the value that you
want or leave the value blank to allow it to inherit a value.
When you update or create policies, you can view all available properties, or you can specify valid
properties for either RGS or RDP. In the Show Properties list, select either ALL, RDP5, RDP6, or
RGS to determine which values are active on-screen.
NOTE: For more information about RGS, refer to your Remote Graphics Software documentation.
View Effective Policy
Use this feature to view the effective policy for a given user. See Table 3-1 Effective Hierarchical Policy
Example on page 39.
1. Click View Effective Policy.
2. Type the UPN name of the user.
3. Click Go.
The hierarchical merge of policies applied to the user is displayed.
NOTE: You may also select a Role for the user to view the effective policy based on that Role, since
the effective policy can be different with each Role to which that user belongs.
