Control Manager provides three types of policies administrators can create. Each policy type differs in the target selection method, which affects how a policy works. The policy list arranges the policy types in the order as described in the following table.

Policy Types

Policy Type
Description
Specified
  • Uses the search or browse function to locate specific targets and manually assigns them to the policy
  • Useful when administrators plan to deploy specific settings only to a certain targets
  • Remains static on the top of the policy list and takes priority over any filtered policies
Filtered
Note
Note
Endpoint Encryption does not support filtered policies.
Draft
Allows administrators to save policy settings as a draft without selecting any targets. Control Manager saves draft policies with the lowest priority at the bottom of the list.
