How multi-slot policies work
Multi-slot policies are used when a policy setting needs to be shared among users or system
groups. Grant Key policy is a multi-slot policy. An ePO administrator can add multiple grant key
policies to users or system groups restricting the assignment of keys to authorized users only.
The policy instances are automatically combined into one effective policy.
Multi-slot policies obey the ePolicy Orchestrator laws of inheritance within a System Tree (see
ePolicy Orchestrator Product Guide for more details).
