Assigning IT policies and resolving IT policy conflicts

You can assign IT policies directly to a user account or to a group. By default, if you do not assign an IT policy to a user account or a group that the user is a member of, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies the Default IT policy to the user account. If you assign an IT policy to a group that a user account is a member of, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies the group IT policy to the user account. If you assign an IT policy to the user account directly, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies this IT policy to the user account instead of the group IT policy or Default IT policy.

If a user account is a member of multiple groups that have different IT policies, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server must determine which IT policy to apply to the user account. You must use one of the following reconciliation options:

Method	Description
Apply one IT policy to the user account	The BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies one of the group IT policies to the user
	account. You specify rankings for the available IT policies using the BlackBerry
	Administration Service and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies the IT
	policy with the highest ranking.
	If you upgrade to BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP2 or later from a previous
	version of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, this is the default method for
	resolving IT policy conflicts.
Apply multiple IT policies to the user	The BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies all of the group IT policies to the user
account	account, resulting in a combined IT policy that has a unique ID. The BlackBerry
	Enterprise Server resolves conflicting IT policy rules using the ranking of the
	available IT policies that you specified using the BlackBerry Administration
	Service. If an IT policy rule is different in the multiple IT policies, the BlackBerry
	Enterprise Server applies the rule setting from the IT policy that you ranked the
	highest.
	If you install BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0 SP2 or later, this is the default
	method for resolving IT policy conflicts.
