Disabling policies from policy sets using the administrative console

You can have policies listed in a policy set that are in the enabled state so that they are currently included in the policy set. You can disable a policy from being included in a policy set without deleting it from the policy set. You might want to do this if you want the policy included in the policy set in the future. You can use the administrative console to change this setting.

Before you begin

To disable a policy for a policy set, be sure the policy is listed in the policy set and shown in the Enabled state in the State column of the Policies table on the Policy set settings page. If the policy is not listed, it might have been deleted and you must add it again and then disable it.
