A security policy can either be enabled or disabled. When a device receives an enabled policy, the Endpoint Security Agent applies the policy. When a device receives a disabled policy, the Endpoint Security Agent ignores the policy.
By default, a security policy is enabled during creation of the policy. The following sections explain how to disable a policy and enable it again.
When you disable a policy that is currently assigned to users or devices, the policy is ignored after the next device refresh. When you assign a disabled policy to users or devices, it is not applied until you enable it.
In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
Select the check box next to the policy that you want to disable.
Click Action > Disable.
In the Policies list, the Enabled status for the selected policy is changed to No.
The Endpoint Security Agent does not apply disabled policies that are assigned to the device or the device’s user. To have the policy applied, you must enable it:
In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
Select the check box next to the policy that you want to enable.
Click Action > Enable.
In the Policies list, the Enabled status for the selected policy is changed to Yes.
