When applying a Policy Object to a directory object, Active Roles creates a Policy Object link. You can modify these links using Active Roles Console.
Link Policy Objects to enforce business rules on different types of directory objects in the Active Roles Console. These objects are the following:
-
Administrative views (Active Roles Managed Units).
-
Active Directory containers (Organizational Units).
-
Individual (leaf) directory objects, such as user or group objects.
