Policy Priorities

Policy priorities help PPE to resolve policy assignment conflicts. If more than one policy is assigned to a user, and PPE cannot decide which policy to enforce using the other conflict resolution rules, then PPE always enforces the policy with the highest priority. To set a policy's priority:

Click the Policies item to display the Policies view.
Click Set Priorities in the right pane of the management console. This option is hidden when there is only one password policy.



Select the desired policy.
Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the priority of the selected policy.
Click OK to close the Policy Priorities page.

Refer to the Policy Selection Flowchart for a diagrammatic representation of PPE's policy selection algorithm, or use the Test Policies page to quickly determine which policy PPE will enforce for a particular user.
