Update access control policies

Only the Site Administrator can update an access control policy.

  1. Open the Organization Administration Console.

  2. From the Access Management menu, click Policies. The Policies page displays with a list of policies.

  3. Select the check box beside the policy that you want to update.

  4. Click Change.

  5. On the Change Policy page; change the fields on the page as required.

  6. Click OK. A message box tells you that the policy has been updated and prompts you to refresh the Policy Registry to apply recent changes to the run-time environment. Click OK.


the access control policy name is a unique field, and duplicate policy names cannot exist in the database. So when the user tries to modify a default access control policy using the Organization Administration Console, the system expects a new name for the new non-default policy that is going to be created. So if the user does not specify a new name, the new non-default policy is not created and the user gets a message to provide a new name for the policy.
