7.5. Editing Policies

At some point, you may want to edit an existing policy. For example, you’d like to modify a policy in the Sample Policy Set to suit the needs of your development team. The process for editing a policy is almost the same as creating one; it’s only a few steps. However, the extent of customization you can do may make the process more complicated. This section lists the overall steps for editing a policy, and includes links to more detailed information in the Understanding the Parts of a Policy section of this chapter.

To edit policies:

  1. Log into IQ Server using an account that has permission to edit policies in a particular application or organization. At a minimum, the account should be assigned to the Owner role of the organization or application.
  2. Click the Manage Applications and Organizations icon figs/web/clm-server-manage-app-org-icon.png on the IQ Server toolbar.
  3. In the sidebar, select the organization or application in which the policy was created.
  4. In the Policy section under Local, click the policy you want to edit. If the policy is listed in an Inherited From section, then it was created at a higher level in the system hierarchy; you must go to the level in which it was created to edit it.
  5. In the Edit Policy view, you can change the following settings:

    • Enter a new name. See Policy Name for more information.
    • Select a different threat level. See Threat Level for more details.
    • If at the organization level, change which applications the policy applies to: all applications or only applications with selected application categories. If the latter, then click the specific application categories to select them. See Inheritance for more information.
    • Add or modify a constraint with conditions. See Constraints and Conditions for further instructions.
    • Add or modify actions and/or notifications. See Actions and Notifications for more details.
  6. Click Update to save the policy changes.
