You can use ZENworks Control Center or the zman command line utility to manage policies. This
section explains how to perform this task by using ZENworks Control Center. If you prefer the zman
command line utility, see

3.1 Policy Groups

A policy group consists of two or more policies. Creating policy groups eases administration efforts
by letting you assign the group, rather than each individual policy, to devices and users. You can
create a policy group with a single policy and then add policies to the group as and when required.
1 In ZENworks Control Center, click the Policies tab.
2 In the Policies list, click New, click Policy Group to display the Basic Information page, then
