View policy sets using the administrative console

Policy sets group security and other web services settings into reusable units. For custom policy sets, copy an existing default policy set.

1. To view policy sets from the administrative console, click...
   Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets or Services > Policy sets > System policy sets

2. Set the number of policy set rows to view at a time using the Preferences settings. The default value is 20. The Editable column on the table in this view shows which policy sets we can edit. We can only edit the custom policy sets that we create. We cannot edit the provided default policy sets.

3. To view the details for any of the policy sets, click the name of the policy set in the Name column of the table. The Policy set settings page displays details about the selected policy set. If the policy set is a custom policy set we can edit the fields on the page. If the policy set is a provided default, then we can copy and reuse the policy set. We cannot edit the fields otherwise.

Results

After viewing the available policy sets and their settings, we can then decide to create a new policy set, copy an existing policy set that we can rename, or use one of the existing policy sets.
