Local Policies
Local Policies
About Local Policies
Local Policies are those that you can customize for a particular location. When you create a new location, by default,
all the policies for this new location are always the same as its parent location. In other words, this newly created
location inherits policies from its parent. You can change these inherited policies. Specifically a user with
administrative rights can configure these policies for a location.
Click the Local tab in the Administration screen to view the policies groups under this tab.
The Local tab consists of two trees:

Location tree on the top

Administration tree at the bottom
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
263
Administration Tab
Recommended: Do not use distinct policies for two locations that represent geographically close-by areas. This is
because if two locations are very close, it is possible that sensors from both these locations see a device, thereby
affecting the accuracy of location tagging for the device.
Policy and Policy Groups
The system clubs policies in Local Policies with related functionality into groups called Policy Groups. Examples of
policy groups and policies within them are as shown below.
Example 1
Operating Policies (Policy Group)

AP Auto-classification(Policy1)
 Client Auto-classification (Policy 2)
 Intrusion Prevention (Policy 3)
Example 2
Event Settings (Policy Group)
 Configuration (Policy 1)
 Email Notification (Policy 2)
Customizing v/s Inheriting Policies
By default, a location inherits policies from its parent location. You can break the inheritance and customize the
policies at a location.
You can customize or inherit policies only at the policy group level. Customize or inherit of individual policies is not
allowed at the individual policy level within the policy group. By customizing or inheriting a policy in a policy group,
the policy group gets customized or inherited.
Policy Inheritance v/s Customization

Alternatively, click
on the right side of the policy group pane.
Alternatively click the hyperlink Inherit in the sentence ‘Click Inherit to inherit this policy from its parent
location.’ on the individual policy page. By inheriting the individual policy, the entire policy group is
inherited from its parent location.
This re-establishes the inheritance link for the selected policy group. The policy group loses any existing
customization for the selected location and starts using the parent policies instead. Once policies are inherited, action
items like checkboxes, buttons, and so on are de-activated in the policy pane. You will see the policies in a Read-only
mode.
Template Based Policies
In the system, some policies are made up of one or more templates. In a large setup with several locations, the
administrator would like to create templates on a single location and reuse these templates, if other locations in the
sub-tree need to have similar templates to define their policies.
Applying a Template
A user can create templates at locations to which access has been granted. You can then select one or more such
templates to be applied at a particular location. Thus, when you apply one or more templates to a location, you
define the policy for that location.
Template Availability at Sub-locations

When you create a new template at a location, it is available for viewing and applying to all the locations in its subtree. Templates can only be modified and deleted at the location at which they are created.
Copying and Pasting of Local Policies
In a large setup with several locations, the administrator would like to custom define policies for just one location. If
other locations need to have policies similar to the ones already defined, you can Copy the policies from the first
location and Paste them to the other locations.
Copy allows you to copy one or all policy groups customized for a particular location to another location. If all the
policy groups for a location are inherited from its parent, you cannot copy policies from that location.
Paste allows you to paste the policies to a policy group on any location. By pasting a policy group on a location
inheriting that policy group, the inheritance is broken.
Copying and Pasting all Local Policies
Use the following steps to copy and paste all Local policies:
1. Right-click a location from the Location tree which you choose to copy (source location).
2. From the resultant context-sensitive menu, select Copy Local Policies for ‘’.
3. Select All Local Policy Groups or Policy Group-‘’. The Policy Group-‘’ option is available only if a policy group node is selected in the Administration tree.
