View policy sets

We can use the administrative console to view lists of policy sets. Policy sets can either be default policy sets that you cannot edit or custom policy sets that we have created and can edit. We can use policy sets, or assertions that define services, to simplify your web services configuration because policy sets group security and other web services settings into reusable units. If you are creating a custom policy set by copying an existing default policy set, you might want to view the existing policy sets to choose a policy set with properties similar to the one you are planning to create. We can view a list of policy sets to decide which policy sets can be reused or copied, modified and reused.


Procedure

  1. To view policy sets from the administrative console, click Services > Policy sets > Application policy sets or Services > Policy sets > System policy sets.

  2. Set the number of policy set rows to view at a time using the Preferences settings. The default value is 20. The Editable column on the table in this view shows which policy sets you can edit. We can only edit the custom policy sets that you create. We cannot edit the provided default policy sets.

  3. To view the details for any of the policy sets, click the name of the policy set in the Name column of the table. The Policy set settings page displays details about the selected policy set. If the policy set is a custom policy set you can edit the fields on the page. If the policy set is a provided default, then you can copy and reuse the policy set. We cannot edit the fields otherwise.


Results

After we have viewed the available policy sets and their settings, you can then decide to create a new policy set, copy an existing policy set that you can rename, or use one of the existing policy sets that meets your needs.
