Creating and editing policies (DMC and DOC)

In the DriveLock Operations Center (DOC)

Please do the following:

  1. Open the Policies view in the Administration menu. Click the button to create a new policy.

  2. You can make the following settings in the dialog:

    • Policy type: Select one of the two types.

      • DOC managed: This policy type may only be configured and edited within the DOC with the settings available there.

      • DMC managed: This policy type allows configuration in the DMC policy editor with all available settings. Select this type of policy if you want to activate modules after licensing.

    • Name: Enter a descriptive name, for example Application Control, if you want to configure your Application Control settings in this policy.

    • Allowed content: Select which DriveLock functionality you want to configure in this policy, e.g. Application Control.

    • Comment: You can optionally enter a comment.

  3. If you have selected DOC managed, you remain in the DOC and are taken directly to the configuration area of your selected content, e.g. to the Application Control configuration settings.

  4. If you have selected DMC managed, also assign a name in the first dialog and then start the DOC Companion if it is not already running. The DMC policy editor then opens and you can configure, save, publish and then assign the policy directly.

In the DriveLock Management Console (DMC)

Please do the following:

To create a new centrally stored policy for the root tenant or other tenants, right-click Policies, select New and then Centrally stored policy....

If you are working with DriveLock agents that have an older DriveLock version than version 2020.2 installed, please select the Centrally stored policy (compatible with agents prior to 2020.2)... option. These agents cannot yet understand the new policy format.

Assign a name, select a tenant, and enter a brief description of the policy.

Optionally, check Use existing policy as template and select a policy you want to create a copy of.

Click OK to save the new policy.

The DriveLock Policy Editor will then open, allowing you to edit the new policy.

If you want to edit an existing policy, right-click the policy and select Edit.

Remember to specify the license information in the global settings.

Using the Import and Export functions, settings can be exchanged between a centrally stored policy and a local policy.
