Item expansion in scheduled remediation jobs

The item expansion feature enables you to expand the following job parameters at runtime:

Devices within the device groups
List of policies attached to individual servers or device groups
Items in the policies

Expanding the job parameters at runtime indicates that when a remediation job is created and scheduled to be run in future, the job parameters are retrieved when the job is actually run.

For example, consider a new server patching job, patching all Windows Servers of a device group is scheduled to run at the end of the month. The device group might have new Windows Servers provisioned or new patches imported before the job is actually run. This scenario will result in remediating the server patching job with an outdated content. With the item expansion feature, you can choose to expand the device groups, list of policies attached to individual servers or device groups, and policy items at runtime to include all new devices and latest polices. For more information, see Select Servers and Policies for Remediation.

To ensure security, permissions are checked both at the time of job creation and at the time the job runs.
