Setting Policy Options

Settings within Policy Options let you indicate how to apply the policy, set policy inheritance and policy weight, and write an expanded policy description.

1. In the Policy Options region, fill in the following fields:
   Process Events for Associated Managed Storage: Select this check box to apply the settings in this policy to all users within the organizational unit where this policy is assigned. Deselect this check box to create a Blocking policy that can be applied to a specific user, group, or container. For more information on blocking policies, see Creating a Blocking Policy
2. In the Policy Inheritance region, fill in the following fields:
   Policy applies to subcontainers: Select this check box to have this policy inherited for all organizational units that reside within the organizational unit where this policy is assigned.
   Policy applies to nested group members: When the policy applies to or is effective for groups, this option determines if nested group members will also be affected.
   Policy Weight: When a user is a member of multiple groups and each group has a separate effective policy, File Dynamics uses this setting to determine which policy to apply. File Dynamics applies the policy with the largest numerical weight.
   In the case where multiple policies have the same weight, the event will go into a pending state indicating that multiple polices have the same weight and one must be changed in order for the event to process.
3. In the text field in the Description region, specify a description of the policy you are creating.
4. Click Apply to save your settings.
5. Proceed with Setting Associations.
