Edit child policy settings

Change the settings of the child policy, including the options for preserving or breaking the inheritance of policy settings from the parent policy. From the menu of a child policy, click Edit Policy.

To edit the policy settings of the child policy...

1. In the policy editor, update the properties that need to be changed:

   1. Change the Policy title.

   2. Optional: Change the Policy description.

   3. Optional: Select a different Policy condition from the list. If the condition you need is not listed, create a new condition by editing the rule: Select Edit Rule from the policy rule menu.

2. Optional: Update the settings for the policy. For each policy setting, determine whether the value inherited from the parent policy will persist in this child policy or be overridden.

   1. Select Use Parent Value if you want the value inherited from the parent policy to persist in this child policy.

   2. If you do not select Use Parent Value, specify the Modified Value for the setting.

   3. Select Allow Changes in Children if you want child policies to override the value specified in this policy.

   If you choose to let a value in the child policy override the value in the parent policy, inheritance from the parent is broken. Changes to the value in the parent policy will not propagate to the setting in this child policy.

Use the policy menu to edit the policy settings, select a condition for the policy, assign user access to the policy, or delete the policy and all its child policies. Click the policy name to create one or more child policies.
