System-Wide vs. Organization-Specific Policies
A design/change-time policy is either system-wide or organization-specific. System-wide policies apply to all organizations within an instance of CentraSite. Organization-specific models apply only to a specified organization.
Whether a policy is system-wide or organization-specific affects the policy's scope. When a policy is organization-specific, its scope is limited to the set of objects that belong to a specified organization. For example, if you create a policy that executes on a PreDelete event for XML Schemas, and you make that policy specific to organization ABC, that policy will execute only when XML Schemas in organization ABC are deleted. If you make it system-wide, it will execute when an XML Schema in any organization is deleted.
Note:  
Once you create a policy, its organizational scope is fixed and cannot be changed. That is, if you create a policy whose scope is specific to organization ABC, you cannot change its scope to make it system-wide or switch it to another organization. You must create a new policy and set its organizational scope in the new policy as needed.
