Copying a shared policy to convert it to a non-shared policy

You may want to convert an existing shared policy to a non-shared policy because the policy no longer applies to all the groups or all the locations that share the policy.

When you finish the conversion, the converted policy with its new name appears under Location-specific Policies and Settings.

To copy and convert a shared policy to a non-shared policy

  1. In the console, click Clients.

  2. In the Clients page, under View Clients, select the group for which you want to convert a policy.

  3. In the pane that is associated with the group that you selected in the previous step, click Policies.

  4. On the Policies tab, uncheck Inherit policies and settings from parent group "group name".

    If you do not uncheck inheritance, you cannot export any policies.

  5. Under Location-specific Policies and Settings, scroll to find the name of the location and the specific policy for the location that you want to convert.

  6. Beside the specific policy, click Tasks, and then click Convert to Non-shared Policy.

  7. In the Overview dialog box, edit the name and description of the policy.

  8. Click OK.
