Policies
Policies define what you can do, what you can do it to, and when you can do it. Policies allow
specification of days and times, port/device access, and if it was granted control access
(Read/Write), or deny access (None). Policies specify a port group or device group, which
defines the ports or devices a user will have access to (or not). It is important to remember that
polices do not specify the user group. Therefore, you need to apply the policies to a user group.
Apply Policies to User Group
By applying a policy to a user group, you have specified which users have access to which ports
and devices. The policy governs what the user group can do, what devices or ports they can
access, and when they can do it. Through this process, you can implement complex
administrative and security objectives.
