Deactivating a Run-Time Policy
You usually deactivate a policy if you want to edit the 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.)
To deactivate a policy, you must have permission to change the policy to the Suspended state.
To deactivate a policy
1. Display the Run-Time Policy Details page for the policy you want to activate. If you need procedures for this step, see Modifying a Run-Time Policy. 2. In the Policy Information panel, click the Change State button. (If you do not see the Change State button, it is probably because you do not have permission to change the lifecycle state of a policy.)
3. In the Change Lifecycle State dialog box, select the Suspended state (to deactivate it temporarily) or the Retired state (to deactivate it permanently), then click OK
