7.4 Assigning Policies and Policy Sets

After creating a policy or policy set in Policy Editor, you must assign them to agents, agent groups, or both. Asset groups allow you to assign policies to the group instead of to each computer. When you add an asset to a group, Change Guardian automatically deploys the policies assigned to the group to the new asset.

Change Guardian provides the following types of asset groups:

  • Default groups: Assets specific to platforms.

    You can view the members of default groups, but you cannot modify or delete the groups.

  • Custom groups: Assets that match the filter criteria you specify for the group.

    NOTE:Change Guardian refreshes the group membership every 30 minutes based on the specified criteria.

    NOTE:Asset groups are now available as View Default Groups and Manage Custom Groups under Agents in the Configuration tab. If there is an existing static group prior to upgrade, you can create a new custom group before or after the upgrade with the same set of agents.

To assign:

  1. Click CONFIGURATION > Policies > Assign Policies.

  2. (Conditional) To assign to an agent group, click Agent Groups and Default Group or Custom Group, and click on the group name.

  3. (Conditional) To assign to an agent, click AGENTS and select the agent name.

  4. Click on the icon under ASSIGN UNASSIGN.

  5. Select the policies from either POLICY SETS, POLICIES, or both, and click APPLY.

To unassign policies or policy sets, perform the same steps and deselect the policy set or policy name.
