Assigning and Updating Policies
Assigning policies
Once you have created encryption policies, these must be assigned to the users and
user groups in order to take any effect.
Encryption policies are assigned to users and user groups (typically the latter) through
the Endpoint Encryption Manager.
If you have created your Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders policies wisely, i.e.
with a specific aim and purpose for each policy, assigning them to users and user
groups will be a very simple task.
1. Once you have started the Endpoint Encryption Manager and have verified that
your Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders policies are ready for
deployment, navigate to the Users tab and then select to what user object
you want to assign a particular policy, e.g. the Management user group.
2. Open the Properties of the object and scroll down the left-hand pane of the
object configuration window to find the Policies icon.
3. Click Add to select what encryption policy shall be assigned to the object. To
remove a policy from the list, select the policy and click Remove. Select
Apply to save any changes in the policy assignment.
