How policies are assigned to groups
You assign a policy to a computer through a group. Every group has exactly one
policy of each protection type that is assigned to it at all times.
See “About the security policies” on page 82.
See “Assigning a policy to a group” on page 87.
Policies are assigned to computer groups as follows:
■ At initial installation, the Symantec default security policies are assigned to
the My Company parent group.
■ The security policies in the My Company parent group are automatically
assigned to each newly created child group.
■ You replace a policy in a group by assigning another policy of the same type.
You can replace a policy that is assigned to the My Company parent group or
to any child group.
