Creating Policies for Individual Users or Computers

This section describes how to create a system policy for a user or computer.

Tip

To reduce the management load, minimize the number of user and computer entries in system policy files. Consider first creating one standard system policy for all users by editing default settings, and then create settings for individuals on an exception basis. For more information, see the STANDARD.POL example in "System Policy Examples" later in this chapter.

To create system policies for a new user or computer

1. In System Policy Editor, click the Edit menu, and then click Add User or Add Computer.
2. Type the name of the user or computer you want to add.

System Policy Editor adds an icon for each user or computer that you add.

To edit existing system policies

1. In System Policy Editor, double-click the icon for the user or computer policies you want to edit.
2. Check or clear policies by clicking the policy name.
