To Which Objects Is the Policy Applied?
When you run a policy on demand, CentraSite queries the objects in the organization to which the policy applies and selects objects that satisfy the following conditions:
The object is one that is within the policy's object scope.
The object is one on which you have View permission.
The object's name, description, and/or classification properties satisfy the object-selection criteria on the policy's
Scope tab (if any).
Note: | If the policy's Organization property is set to All (meaning that it is a system-wide policy), then CentraSite queries all organizations for objects that satisfy the conditions listed above. |
CentraSite executes the policy's actions on each object in the result set produced by this query (henceforth, referred to as the target set).
If an action in the policy performs an update or delete operation on the objects in the target set, be aware that these operations will only execute successfully if you have the appropriate Modify or Full permission on the target object. If you do not have the required permissions, the action that performs the edit or delete operation will fail and the failure will be reported in the policy log.
Keep in mind also that, as with other policies, a policy that you execute on demand might trigger other policies. This will occur anytime an action in the policy performs an operation that is within the scope of another policy.
