Policy ownership

With all policies available, each policy is then required to have an assigned owner. By default, the owner of a policy is the global or site administrator who created it.

Ownership ensures that no one other than the global administrator or owner of the named policy can modify it. Any administrator can use any policy that exists in the catalog, but only the owner or global administrator can modify it.

If you assign a policy that you do not own to nodes of the Directory that you administer, and the owner of the policy modifies it, all systems to which this policy is assigned receive these modifications.

 

To use and control a policy owned by a different administrator, duplicate the policy and then assign the duplicate policy.
