Create and manage policies
This section contains information on how to create and configure policies for Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
A policy determines the settings of an application and manages the access to configuration of an application installed on computers within an administration group. An individual policy must be created for each application. You can create an unlimited number of various policies for applications installed on computers in each administration group, but only one policy can be applied to each application at a time within an administration group.
When creating and configuring a policy, you can allow or prohibit changes to any group of settings in policies using the
and
buttons.
You can perform the following actions on custom policies:
- Create policies.
- Configure policies.
- Copy or move policies from one group to another.
- Delete policies
- Change the status of policies.
- Export policies to a file.
- Import policies from a file.
