5.3.4 Policies and structure of ESET Configuration Editor
Figure 5-2
Each policy in the Policy Tree is assigned an icon on the left. The meaning of icons are as follows:
1) Policies with blue icons refer to those present on the given server. There are three subgroups of blue icons:
Icons with white targets – Policy was created on that server. In addition, it is not down replicable, which means it
is not assigned to clients from lower servers and also it does not serve as a parent policy for the child servers. These
policies can only be applied within the server – to clients connected to the server. It can also serve as a parent policy
for another policy from the same server.
Icons with blue targets – Policy was also created on the server, however, the option Override any child policy is
selected (for more information, see section 5.3.2, "How to create policies").
, Icons with downward arrows – These policies are replicated – the option Down replicable policy is enabled.
You can apply these policies on the given server and on its child servers.
2) Policies with grey icons originate from other servers.
Icons with upward arrows – These policies are replicated from child servers. They can only be viewed or deleted
with the option Delete Policy Branch. This option will not delete the policy itself, it will only remove the policy
from the Policy Tree. Therefore they can reappear after replication. If you do not want to display policies from lower
servers, use the option Hide foreign servers policies not used in policy tree.
Icons with downward arrows – These policies are replicated from upper servers. They can be used as Parent
policies for other policies, assigned to clients (Add Clients) or removed (Delete Policy). Please note that deleting
will only delete the policy – it will reappear after replication from the upper server (unless the attribute Down
replicable policy has been disabled on the upper server).
NOTE: To move and assign policies within the structure, you can either select the parent policy, or drag-and-drop it with the
mouse.
5.3.5 Viewing policies
Policies in the Policy Tree structure can be viewed directly in the Configuration Editor by clicking View... or View
Merged....
View Merged – Displays the merged policy created as a result of inheritance (the process of inheriting applies
settings from the parent policy). This option is displayed by default, because the current policy is already a merged
policy.
View – Displays the original policy before it was merged with a parent policy.
On lower servers, the following options are available for policies inherited from upper servers:
