To rename a Policy Object
- In the console tree, under Configuration | Policies | Administration, locate and select the folder that contains the Policy Object you want to rename.
- In the details pane, right-click the Policy Object, and click Rename.
- Type a new name, and then press ENTER.
|
NOTE: If a Policy Object is applied within Active Roles to determine policy settings in the directory, renaming the Policy Object does not cause any changes to the policy settings in the directory. When applying a Policy Object, Active Roles refers to the Policy Object by an internal identifier rather than by the name of the Policy Object. |
With the Active Roles console, you can export Policy Objects to an XML file and then import them from that file to populate another instance of Active Roles. The export and import operations provide a way to move Policy Objects from a test environment to a production environment.
|
NOTE: When you export and then import Policy Objects, only policies are transferred. The Policy Object links are not included in the export-import operation. You need to reconfigure them manually after completing the operation. |
To export Policy Objects, select them, right-click the selection, and select All Tasks | Export. In the Export Objects dialog box, specify the file where you want to save the data, and click Save.
To import Policy Objects, right-click the container where you want to place the Policy Objects, and then click Import. In the Import Directory Objects dialog box, select the file to which the Policy Objects were exported, and click Open.
To delete a Policy Object, you must first delete the links to the Policy Object (see Managing policy scope earlier in this chapter). Then, you can perform the deletion: Right-click the Policy Object and click Delete.
To delete a Policy Object

- In the details pane, right-click the Policy Object, and then click Delete.
|
NOTE: Once a Policy Object is applied within Active Roles to determine policy settings in the directory, the Policy Object cannot be deleted. You can view a list of objects to which the Policy Object is applied: Right-click the Policy Object, and click Policy Scope. If you need to delete the Policy Object, first remove all items from the list in the Active Roles Policy Scope dialog box. |
