Assigning policies to endpoints

You can manage security settings on computers using policies.

From the Network page you can view, change and assign policies for each endpoint or group of endpoints.

Note

Security settings are available for managed endpoints only. To easier view and manage security settings, you can filter the network inventory only by managed endpoints.

To view the policy assigned to a particular endpoint:

  1. Go to the Network page.

  2. Select the group that you want from the left-side pane. All endpoints from the selected group are displayed in the right-side pane table.

  3. Click the name of the managed endpoint you are interested in. An information window will appear.

  4. Under General tab, in the Policy section, click the name of the current policy to view its settings.

  5. You can change security settings as needed, provided the policy owner has allowed other users to make changes to that policy.

    Note

    Any change you make will affect all the endpoints assigned with the same policy.

    For more information about changing policy settings, refer to this section.
