Inheriting Policies for a Policy Group
5. Alternatively, click on the right side of the policy group pane.
6. Alternatively click the hyperlink Inherit in the sentence ‘Click Inherit to inherit this policy from its parent
location.’ on the individual policy page. By inheriting the individual policy, the entire policy group is
inherited from its parent location.
This re-establishes the inheritance link for the selected policy group. The policy group loses any existing
customization for the selected location and starts using the parent policies instead. Once policies are inherited, action
items like checkboxes, buttons, and so on are de-activated in the policy pane. You will see the policies in a Read-only
mode.
Template Based Policies
In the system, some policies are made up of one or more templates. In a large setup with several locations, the
administrator would like to create templates on a single location and reuse these templates, if other locations in the
sub-tree need to have similar templates to define their policies.
Applying a Template
A user can create templates at locations to which access has been granted. You can then select one or more such
templates to be applied at a particular location. Thus, when you apply one or more templates to a location, you
define the policy for that location.
