The same policy on a group and on a machine
1.
The same policy can be applied to a group and to a machine. Nothing changes on the machine at
the second application of the same policy, but the server remembers that the policy has been
applied twice.
2.
A policy, revoked from the group, remains on the machine.
3.
A policy, revoked from the machine, remains on the group and therefore on the machine.
4.
To completely revoke the policy from the machine, revoke it from both the group and the
machine.

Operations with a machine
This section is a simplified illustration of what happens with the policies on a machine when the
machine is moved, copied, or deleted from a group.
In the diagram below, the container stands for a group; the one-color circle stands for a machine
with one applied policy; the two-color circle stands for a machine with two applied policies; the
white circle stands for a machine with no policy applied.
1. Here is the initial state: two custom groups contain different machines. A policy is applied to one
group; another policy is applied to another group. The next schemes illustrate results of the specified
actions.
2. Move to another group: Machine #3 is moved from one group to another. The "orange" policy is
revoked; the "blue" policy is applied to the machine.
3. Add to another group: Machine #3 is added to another group. It becomes a member of both
groups. The "blue" policy is applied, but the "orange" policy remains on the machine.
4. Remove from the group: Machine #3 is removed from the group. The "orange" policy is revoked
from the machine. The machine remains in the All machines group.
