Action categories identify the action templates assigned to the category and the type of action those templates represent. CentraSite includes a set of predefined action categories and custom action categories.

By default, the policy actions that are installed with CentraSite are grouped into these categories:

If you want to enforce policies using actions that are not provided by your CentraSite, you can create your own categories to define the custom actions. For example, a custom category can consist of user-defined actions to enforce policies. You can enforce policies of the custom actions just like you would enforce policies using the system (built-in) actions.
