26.3 Managing Policy Containers

You use policy containers to store and organize policies, similar to how you organize files in folders. The Master_Container is a permanent policy container, but you can use Edit Policy Containers to create new containers for purposes to suit your needs.

  1. In the Administration Console, click Access Manager > Policies, then click the Manage Policy Containers icon by the Policy Container selection box.

  2. On the Container List page, click New.

  3. Name the policy container, then click OK.

  4. Click Close.

After you add a policy container, the system displays it in the Policy Container drop-down list on the Policy List page.

If you have only one administrator configuring and managing policies, you can create additional policy containers to help you keep them organized. If you have multiple administrators creating policies, you can create a container for each administrator to use. This allows multiple administrators to modify policies at the same time. When an administrator opens a policy in a container, the container is locked, which prevents other administrators from modifying any policies in that container.

You must delete all the policies in a policy container before you can delete the policy container.
