Administration Guide Using an IT policy to manage BlackBerry Enterprise Solution security

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.

2.Click Manage IT policies.

3.Click Set priority of IT policies.

Option 2: Applying multiple IT policies to each user account

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.
