Enabling policies for policy sets using the administrative console

Policies can be listed in a policy set in the disabled state so that they are not currently included in the policy set. You can enable a policy to be included in a policy set using the administrative console.

Before you begin

To enable a policy for a policy set, be sure the policy is listed in the policy set and shown in the Disabled state in the State column of the Policies table on the Policy set settings page.

About this task

Procedure

  1. Click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets > policy_set_name or Services > Policy sets > System policy sets > policy_set_name.
