USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Planning and assigning policies
Before you register and set up users, plan and create policies. Then, during user registration, assign the policies. If users are already registered, you can plan and create policies, but you cannot assign any registration and setup policy settings, since those apply only once, during user registration and setup.

To plan and assign policies

1. Determine which settings to assign to all users in specific organizational units. For these settings, create organizational policies.

2. Determine which settings to assign to individual users or groups. For these settings, create explicit policies.

3. Register users and assign explicit policies during registration.

4. For users who are already registered, assign explicit policies by editing the Person document or using the Assign Policy tool.

5. (Optional) Create and assign exception policies.
