Deactivating a Run-Time Policy
Pre-requisites:
To deactivate a run-time policy in CentraSite, you must have one of the following permissions:
To deactivate a organization-specific policy, you must have the Manage Run-Time Policies permission for the organization specified in the scope of the original policy. For example, if the original policy is scoped for organization ABC, you are not permitted to deactivate that policy unless you have permission to manage run-time policies for organization ABC.
To deactivate a system-wide policy, you must have the Manage System-Wide Run-Time Policies permission.
Deactivating a run-time policy causes CentraSite to suppress enforcement of the policy. You usually deactivate a policy for the following reasons:
To suspend enforcement of a particular policy (temporarily or permanently).
To edit a policy (for example, to modify the scope of a policy or change its action list).
To deactivate a policy, you change the policy to the Suspended state. Switching the policy to this state triggers the Automatic Policy Deactivation policy, which deactivates the policy. Switching the policy to the Retired state also deactivates the policy, but you do not want to switch a policy to this state unless you intend to deactivate it permanently. After you place a policy in the Retired state, you cannot reactivate it.
When you deactivate a policy, CentraSite does not deactivate a policy if it is in the process of being executed. If you attempt to deactivate a policy while it is executing, your state change request fails. If this occurs, wait for a period time and then try to deactivate the policy again.
To deactivate a run-time policy
1. In the CentraSite Business UI activity bar, click Manage Governance Rules.
2. To filter the list to see just a list of the available policies, do the following:
a. Go to the advanced search panel.
b. In the Narrow Your Results section, do the following:
a. Locate Applicable Scopes.
b. Choose Runtime Policy from the drop-down list.
c. Click the plus button next to the drop-down box or press Enter to add the scope Runtime Policy to the search recipe.
CentraSite displays the list of runtime policies that are available to you in the Search Results page.
3. Click the policy you want to deactivate.
This opens the Run-Time Policy Details page.
4. Toggle the policy's decoration indicator to Suspended state to deactivate it temporarily or the Retired state to deactivate it permanently. (If you do not see the decoration indicator, it is probably because you do not have permission to change the lifecycle state of a policy.)
5. Examine the policy's decoration indicator on the Search Results for Governance Rules page to verify that the policy's state has been changed.
If this state change requires approval, the policy's decoration indicator indicates that the policy is in the pending mode. CentraSite automatically switches the policy to the requested state (and deactivate the policy) after all the necessary approvals have been obtained.
