Policy

A policy defines the services to which users and managed devices are entitled. It represents a designation of application service entitlements. Policies show which managed devices are assigned to which packages. A package is a unit of distributable software or data. Typically, to map services to users, you create users, assign users to groups, and then assign services to these groups. The policy information associated with these services determines which data are to be managed for the user, group, or computer; it determines what services should be distributed and managed for the agent. In the HPCA model of policy-based management, it is possible to connect to an external Active Directory to define your policy entitlements.
