Assign a policy to a system
You can assign a policy from the Policy Catalog to any system or system group. Assignment allows you
to define policy settings once for a specific need, then apply that policy to multiple locations.
When you assign a new policy to a particular group, all child groups and systems that are set to inherit
the policy from this assignment point, get the set policies.
