Enterprise or Service Provider
Customer
Important:
This document is for use by Enterprise customers only.
The way in which custom policies are applied to your users varies depending on whether
you are classified as a service provider or enterprise customer. If you are a service
provider customer, each domain can have one custom policy (see Figure 7). If you are an
enterprise customer, a single default policy applies to all domains. Thus, for an enterprise
customer, you must create a group or groups of users, and for each group, you can create a
custom policy. A group can be created according to domain membership (see Figure
8
) or
according to any other user characteristics that may apply across multiple domains (see
Figure
9
). For procedures, see
Create a Group
in
Account Management Administrator
Guide
.
Note:
Because a group defined by an enterprise customer can contain users from different
domains, a group policy does not apply to a domain, but rather to the group of users to
which it is defined. A custom group policy supersedes the default policy that is assigned to
all domains.
