When managing policies in Apex Central and Apex One, it is important to understand how the two systems work together. If you are using Apex Central to deploy policies, it is recommended to apply the exclusions you have added from Apex One server as well.
To create policies in Apex Central, follow these steps:
1. Go to Policies > Policy Management.2. Select the type of product settings from the Product list.
3. Click 'Create Policy'.
4. Type a policy name and specify targets.
- Specify Targets: Use this option to select specific endpoints or managed products.
- Filter by Criteria: Use this option to allocate endpoints automatically based on the filtering criteria.
- None (Draft only): Use this option to save the policy as a draft without choosing any targets.
5. Click a managed product feature to expand it and configure its settings. Repeat this step to configure all features.
6. Click Deploy and Save.
Once Apex Central deploys a policy to the targets, the settings defined in the policy overwrite the existing settings in the targets. Apex Central enforces the policy settings in the targets. Although local administrators can make changes to the settings from the managed product console, the changes are overwritten every time Apex Central enforces the policy settings.
