2.1 Permissions

Permissions are required in order to view and edit a policy. These permissions can come either globally from the organisation, or specifically from the application.

See Global permissions and scroll down to Policies to learn about the Global permissions that can be granted to users. A user who has the Global permission 'Manage all' has full permissions to edit any policy for any application that they are able to view.

See Application permissions and scroll down to Policies to learn about the Application permissions that can be granted to users. There are many granular policy permissions that can be granted to users of an application.

3 How policy deployment works

Once a policy is created it is placed into a Policy Group. Policy Groups can then be linked to a Node Group. A Node Group may have one or more Policy Groups linked to it. A Policy Group may be linked to one or more Node Group. All nodes in the Node Group then have the policy deployed to them.
