Policy Resolution Examples

This section provides examples demonstrating how the actual policy is returned to the Configuration Server when default and override policies are assigned to a directory object that has policy entitlement to a service.

Example 1: simple override

Example 2: simple default

Example 3: default and override

Example 4: multiple defaults and multiple overrides

Note: Neither defaults nor overrides have any affect to policy resolutions that do not grant access to the subject (Firefly in the above example). Defaults and overrides only affect policy objects that are already granted access to an application. The effect that defaults and overrides have is only to refine the definition of that access by possibly altering a set of attributes. The set of attributes that are altered are those that contribute to the POLICY object that is present when the subject object is resolved on the Configuration Server.
