Policies
The policy manager is used to configure the policies that you want to use to check your apps. AppControl has a default set of checks and all of these are included in the global policy. This is automatically created, configured and is checked automatically. The global policy can be configured to meet the needs of your organizations.
There are 3 different types of policies that can be managed in AppControl:
Global Policy. This will apply to all apps in your organization.
Group Policy. This policy applies to all apps in a specific app group.
App Policy. This policy applies to a specific app.
Policies are applied hierarchically (Global > Group > App), however only a single policy is used to check an app. If for instance a group policy is configured, this policy will be used instead of the global policy. If you want specific checks to be mandatory for all apps (or the entire policy), you can make the complete global policy mandatory or just specific checks in the global policy.
Depending on your user role you will see 1 or more tabs in the policy manager. If a policy has not yet been created for a specific group or app, you can choose to create a new policy. After opening the policy you can enable and disable specific policy checks. Some checks have additional options. Click on a check to view and configure its settings.
Policies are checked for compliance every hour.
For details about all available check types see the 'Checks' section of this documentation.
