Change the method that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses to resolve

conflicting IT policies

You can change the method that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses to determine what IT policy to apply to a user
account when a user account belongs to multiple groups that have different IT policies. If you change the method used to
resolve conflicting IT policies, the next IT policy reconciliation process that occurs might have a significant impact on the
performance of your organization's BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment. It is a best practice to configure this feature
during low usage periods.
1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the Servers and components menu, expand BlackBerry solution
topology > BlackBerry Domain > Component view.
2. Click BlackBerry Administration Service.
3. At the bottom of the page, click Switch method to resolve multiple IT policies.
4. Click Yes - Switch the method.

Rank IT policies

You must rank the IT policies that you create so that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can resolve IT policy conflicts when a
user account is a member of multiple groups that have different IT policies.
1. In the BlackBerry Administration Service, on the BlackBerry solution management menu, expand Policy.
2. Click Manage IT policies.
3. Click Set priority of IT policies.
4. To move the IT policies higher or lower in the list, click the up arrow icon or down arrow icon.
5. Click Save.
Option 2: Applying multiple IT policies to each useraccount
You can configure the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to apply multiple IT policies to a user account when a user account is a
member of multiple groups that have different IT policies. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server creates a combined IT policy
for the user account that has a unique ID by applying the policy rules from the multiple IT policies and resolving any
conflicting rule settings. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server resolves conflicting rule settings by applying the rule setting
from the IT policy that you ranked the highest in the BlackBerry Administration Service.
