Copying a Policy
A design/change-time policy can become quite complex, especially if it includes many policy actions. Instead of creating a new policy “from scratch”, it is sometimes easier to copy an existing policy that is similar to the one you need and edit the copy.
When you create a copy of a policy, be aware that:
To create a copy of a policy, you must have permission to manage design/change-time policies for the organization specified in the scope of the original policy. For example, if the original policy is scoped for organization ABC, you will not be permitted to create a copy of that policy unless you have permission to manage design/change-time policies for organization ABC. This is because the copied policy has the same organizational scope as the original.
When
CentraSite creates a copy of a policy, the new copy of the policy is identical to the original one except that:
Ownership of the new policy is assigned to the user who created the copy.
Like all new policies, the copied policy begins it lifecycle in the New state and it is marked as inactive.
There is no expressed relationship between the copy and the original policy (that is,
CentraSite does not establish any type of association between the two policies).
In general, a copied policy no different than a newly created policy.
To copy a policy
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Policies > Design/Change Time to display the policy list.
2. Locate the policy that you want to copy and choose Create Copy from its context menu.
3. Modify the new policy as necessary and then save it.
