Creating and managing IT policies

You can use the Default IT policy or create custom IT policies (for example, to specify IT policy rules for different groups in your organization). If you plan to use the Default IT policy, you should review it and, if necessary, update it to make sure that the rules meet or exceed the minimum standards for your organization's security.

Create an IT policy

  1. On the menu bar, click Policies and Profiles.
  2. Click the + icon beside IT policies.
  3. Type a name and description for the IT policy.
  4. Click the tab for each device type in your organization and configure the appropriate values for the IT policy rules.
  5. Click Add.
After you finish: Rank IT policies.

Rank IT policies

When a user is a member of multiple groups that have different IT policies, BES10 Cloud uses the ranking that you specify to determine which IT policy to assign to the user account.

  1. On the menu bar, click Policies and Profiles.
  2. In the left pane, expand IT policies.
  3. Click Rank IT policies.
  4. Use the arrows to move IT policies up or down the ranking.
  5. Click Save.

Change an IT policy

  1. On the menu bar, click Policies and Profiles.
  2. In the left pane, expand IT policies.
  3. Click the name of the IT policy that you want to change.
  4. Click the edit icon.
  5. Make changes on the appropriate tab for each device type.
  6. Click Save.
After you finish: To change the IT policy ranking, see Rank IT policies.

Delete an IT policy

You cannot delete the Default IT policy. When you delete a custom IT policy, the IT policy is removed from every user that it is assigned to, and BES10 Cloud uses predefined rules to determine which IT policy should be assigned to the user instead. For more information, see How BES10 Cloud chooses which IT policy to assign.

  1. On the menu bar, click Policies and Profiles.
  2. In the left pane, expand IT policies.
  3. Click the name of the IT policy that you want to delete.
  4. Click the delete icon.
  5. Click Delete.
