Viewing or Changing a Run-Time Policy
You use the Run-Time Policy Details page to examine and/or edit the properties for a policy. When editing a policy, keep the following points in mind:
*To edit a policy, you must have Modify permission on the policy. If your user account belongs to a role that has the Manage Runtime Policies permission for an organization, you automatically have permission to modify all of the policies in that organization. If your user account belongs to a role that has the Manage System-Wide Runtime Policies permission, you have permission to edit any system-wide policy on the server.
*You cannot make changes to a run-time policy while it is active. To make changes to an active policy, you must switch the policy to the Suspended state (to deactivate it), update the policy and then switch it back to the Productive state (to reactivate it). For information about deactivating and activating a policy, see Deactivating a Run-Time Policy and Activating a Run-Time Policy, respectively.
To edit a policy
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Policies > Run-Time to display the policy list.
2. Locate the policy whose details you want to view or edit and choose Details from its context menu.
3. Examine or modify the properties on the Policy Detail page as necessary.
