Policy Groups

You can define policy groups to group policies together logically. A policy group can contain both baseline and topology policies. Assigning a policy group, rather than individual policies, to a view, can make it easier to manage the policies. You can also define subgroups within the policy groups.

You can copy a policy from one group and paste it into another group or the root of the tree. This can provide a shorter way of adding policies to your policy groups. If you want to define a similar policy to an existing one, you can copy it to the required location and modify it. Changes made to the copied policy do not affect the original policy. You can also cut a policy from a group and paste it into another group. In this case, the policy is deleted from the original group.

You can also cut or copy a policy group and paste it into the root of the policy tree or into another group. It is only possible to cut or copy a single policy or group at one time.

When cutting or copying policies and groups and pasting them elsewhere, the policies still apply to the views to which they were assigned. However, when a policy group is applied to a view and one of the group's policies is copied to a different group, the copied policy does not apply to the views of its previous group; rather, it now applies to the views of the new group.
