Global policies and profile inheritance
With this release, administrators can now explicitly configure a policy as Global, meaning it will be automatically applied to All Organizations. Additionally, they can optionally specify profiles to inherit from the global policy when defining root policies at organizational level, enabling them to easily manage commonly used profiles across many policies:
- Added a new Global Configuration section to the Details section of the Policy configuration wizard:
- If there is already a global policy (assigned to All Organizations) of the selected policy type, its name will be displayed.
- A toggle can be used to set the policy being configured as the global policy. After saving the new global policy, the previously assigned global policy of the selected type will no longer be applied.
- The policy’s context (applied to All Organizations) will be displayed in the targeting section when configuring a policy but cannot be changed there unless it is first de-selected as a global policy.
- Global policies are now listed in a separate section of the Configuration > Policies grid. Other root level policies, which may be assigned to organizations or lower-level entities, are listed under Organizational Policies.
A Global Profiles toggle has been added to the profiles configuration area in the policy configuration wizard when creating or editing an organizational policy. If enabled, profiles from the global policy will be assigned and labeled with a chip to show they are inherited from the global policy, unless there is already a directly assigned profile of the same type.
- Individual inherited profiles can optionally be removed from the organizational policy or replaced with a directly assigned profile of the same type. They will be shown in the Replaced or Removed Profiles section of the profile list.
- If profiles are assigned directly to the organizational policy at the time the Global Profiles toggle is enabled, any inherited profiles of the same type will be automatically removed and shown in the Replaced or Removed Profiles section.
