Creating a policy

You can create policies; you can also modify and delete existing policies.

To create a policy:

1. In the main menu, go to Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles.
2. Select the administration group for which the policy is to be created:
   • For the root group.

     In this case you can proceed to the next step.

   • For a subgroup:
     1. Click the Change scope button at the top of the page.
     2. In the window that opens, click the name of the required subgroup.

     The path to the selected group is displayed at the top of the page. If necessary, you can click a link with the administration group name to go to the group. By default, the last link in the path is inactive.
