Table 10 Rules Tick Box for A Computer

Tick Box Setting	Meaning
Black, not ticked	The rule does not apply to this computer
Black, ticked	The rule is applied to this computer
Grey, ticked	The rule is applied to this computer indirectly through the
	computer’s membership of one or more groups that have
	the rule specifically applied

4You can change which of these rules are applied to a computer by either ticking or removing the tick from rules that are black. To change a rule that is applied indirectly through a group, see “Displaying And Changing Rules Associated With A Group”.

A computer can be associated with multiple rules, however only the highest priority rule associated with the computer will be used for the RADIUS authorization.
