See Locking and unlocking policy settings"
If you want to change the settings in an existing policy, you
can edit it. You can increase or decrease the protection on
your computers by modifying its security policies. You do
not have to reassign a modified policy unless you change
the group assignment.
See Editing a policy" on page 122.
To put a policy into use, you must assign it to one or more
groups.
See Assigning a policy to a group"
Symantec recommends that you always test a new policy
before you use it in a production environment.
See Testing a security policy"
You can replace one policy with another.
See Replacing a policy" on page 125.
Instead of adding a new policy, you may want to copy an
existing policy to use as the basis for the new policy.
See Copying and pasting a policy"
You can export an existing policy if you want to use it in a
different group. You can then import the policy and apply
it to a group.
See Exporting and importing policies"
If a policy is no longer useful, and you do not want to keep
it in the database, you can delete it.
