4.1 Creating and Checking In Universal Policies

When you create a Universal Policy, Universal Policy Administrator automatically links it to the domain or OU in which you are working.

  • AD

  • Linux

  • Cloud

  • Mac

  • Non Domain Windows

NOTE:The browser-based web console allows you to check out and check in universal policies as there are no external dependencies involved or any limitations on account of untrusted domain scenarios. You can also search for and edit policies simultaneously, saving both time and effort.

NOTE:To create a Universal Policy, you must be an Administrator or have Create UP permission either at global or domain level to which the UP is linked.

To create a Universal Policy from the web console:

  1. Log in to the Web Console as an Administrator and navigate to the Universal Policies tab.

  2. Click + to open the New Universal Policy dialog box.

  3. Enter a Name for the New Universal Policy.

  4. (Optional) Select Import policies from a GPO in Active Directory and choose policies to import.

  5. Enter a Domain name.

  6. (Optional) Select a WMI Filter for Domain OUs from the drop-down list.

  7. Click Create.

  8. Click + to select and add platform specific policies to the created Universal Policy.

  9. Click Add.
