Policies are the core framework within the Addigy platform for managing deployments to groups of devices and can be Created, Configured, Deployed, and Deleted.
Note: Policies have a hierarchical inheritance, which means most items and settings added to Parent Policies will trickle down to the Child Policies. For more information on the Hierarchy of Policies, check out our KB on Understanding Policy Inheritance.
