Policy Assistant

Use the Policy Assistant to learn more about your policy configuration. The assistant detects if there are errors in configuration and provides remediation details. For example, duplicate Application Rules that potentially contradict each other, or duplicated user accounts in a Workstyle account filter.

The Policy Assistant menu displays the number of potential policy issues detected.

The Policy Assistant validates the following areas of the policy:

Accounts filters
Application
Application rules
Audit script
Content
License
On-demand rules
Trusted application protection settings
Workstyles

If there are no issues identified by the Policy Assistant, then the current set of checks hasn't detected issues. However, there could be potential issues not covered by the checks currently running.

Policy checks can run without saving the policy; any unsaved changes are checked when you access the Policy Assistant.

Access the assistant

From the left menu, select Endpoint Privilege Management > Policies.
The Endpoint Privilege Management Policies page displays.
Locate the policy you want to edit from the list.
Click > Edit & Lock Policy.
In the Policy Editor, select the Policy Assistant tab.
Click the suggested action link to remediate the potential policy issue identified.
Sort the issues by severity level to prioritize the issues to resolve.

View issues

When you select Save & Unlock after changing a policy, the Policy Assistant runs checks to detect any policy configuration issues.

If no issues are detected, a confirmation displays in the Save & Unlock panel.
If issues are detected, the number of conflicts and a link to view more detail displays on the Save & Unlock panel.
