Setting up policies

Policies are made up of security settings for all of your protection services. These settings define how your services operate on client computers.

Why use policies?

Policies enable you to customize security settings for your entire organization or for different computers in your organization. Each policy is assigned to a group of computers. If you have created multiple groups, you can assign a unique policy to each group or allow them to share a single policy.

For example, you might place all laptops used by traveling sales representatives into a single group called Sales Team. You can then assign a policy with high security settings that will provide greater protection against threats in unsecure networks such as airports and hotels. Whenever you want to adjust those setting, simply change the policy. Your changes will be applied to all the computers in the Sales Team group automatically. There is no need to update each computer’s setting individually. See Customized policies on page 19 for an illustration.

How can I manage policies?

Click the Groups + Policies tab to display the groups in your organization and the policies assigned to them. If you have not created any groups or policies, only the Default group and the SonicWALL Default policy are displayed (see The SonicWALL Default policy). From this page, you can:

„Create or edit a policy

„Assign a policy to a group

„Restore default policy settings

„Delete a policy

Can users change their security settings?

The policy determines whether users can change their security settings.
