Modifying a Policy Group

Scenarios

You can modify the policy configuration (including the default policy group), basic information, and policy objects in an existing policy group, or delete a policy group that is no longer used.

Modifying Basic Information

The basic information about the default policy group cannot be modified.

  4. Modify the name, priority, and description as required.

    • The policy name can contain up to 55 characters in digits, letters, and underscores (_).
    • The priority value must be less than the total number of policy groups. The priority is a basis for determining an execution sequence or an action weight of a policy by Workspace Application Streaming. The priority is represented by a positive integer. A smaller value indicates a higher priority.
