Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Creating a child policy document

USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Creating a child policy document
When you create a child policy, you use a Policy document to specify which policy settings documents to include.

In explicit policies, you create a child policy by setting up the child/parent name structure. For example, the policy /Contractors may have a child policy called /Short term/Contractors.

In organization policies, child policies follow the hierarchy of the organization. So the child of */Acme is */Sales/Acme.

To create a child policy

1. Make sure that you have Editor access to the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory and one of these roles:

PolicyCreator role to create a policy document
PolicyModifier role to modify a policy document

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the People & Groups tab, and then open the Policies view.

3. Select the name of the policy for whom you want to create a child policy and click Edit Policy.

4. Under Basics, click Create Child.

5. In the Policy Name field do one:

Organizational policy -- enter the name of the organizational unit, followed by the Organization or the Organizational unit that displays in the Parent Policy field. For example, if */Acme is in the Parent policy field and you want to create a child policy for the Sales/Acme organization unit, enter Sales/Acme. When the policy is saved, the name will be */Sales/Acme.
Explicit policy -- enter a name for the child policy followed by the text that displays in the Parent policy field. For example, if the Parent policy field is /Contractors and you want to create a child named Short term, enter Short term/Contractors. When the policy is saved the name will be /Short term/Contractors.

6. Complete the remaining fields using the same procedure you used to create a policy document.
