3.3. Importing a Policy to an Application
An application inherits policies from the organization. However it can
be useful to have additional policies for fine grained control.
-
Log into your Sonatype CLM server with a user account with an
Administrator role or as an Owner of the application you wish
to import policy to.
-
Next, click the Organizational Design icon
to
access the Organizational Design area.
-
Two columns will be displayed on the left. Click on Applications, and then click the application you chose to import the policy to.
-
Click the Import button in the top right corner of the application
view, which is identical to the organization view displayed in
Figure 3.1, “Organization View with Import Button”.
-
Click the Choose File button in the Import Policy dialog
displayed in Figure 3.2, “Import Policy Dialog” and select the
policy JSON file in the file browser.
-
Click the Import button in the Import Policy dialog.
-
Confirm that the list of policies contains the imported policies.
The policy information will be imported, and the following rules will
be applied:
-
Duplication of organization policies is invalid, so you will not be able to
import the same policy file into an organization and then into an application
associated to it.
-
When a policy is imported, any existing application policies will be deleted
and replaced with the imported configuration.
-
For label imports, the same logic as during imports at the organization level
described in Section 3.2, “Importing a Policy to an Organization” applies.
-
Attempting to import policies that contain tags will cause the
entire import to fail.
